The Lord Preserves the Simple

Bible Verse
“The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.”
— Psalm 116:6 (KJV)
 
Ellen G. White Quote
“God’s care is over the weakest of His children. His tender love is extended to those who trust Him, even in their simplicity and ignorance.”
— Steps to Christ, p. 100
 
Reflection
The world often values sophistication, intelligence, and strength, but God looks with compassion on the humble and the simple-hearted. Those who come to Him with childlike trust and sincerity are the ones He gently preserves and helps.
Ellen White reminds us that even the weakest, most unnoticed souls are precious in His sight. His love is not based on what we know or what we can do it is based on His unchanging character.
Sometimes we feel small, inadequate, or unworthy. But the Lord draws near to those who come to Him just as they are, trusting fully in His care.
