Whys and why nots

Why?
Why talk about orphans that have no hope?
Why ask God for wisdom? 
Have you prayerfully considered adopting, foster care or orphan care? 
Why Not?

Video/audio message & sermon notes from David Platt based on Psalm 10
David Platt Father to the fatherless

If you seek wisdom God will give it to you.  James 1:5  "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

His wisdom looks very different from ours. James 3:17  "But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere."

What hope do you have? What hope can you offer to orphans that have no hope?
Knowing God is having hope. Overflowing hope by the power of His Spirit. Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
