Although this is originally a command for a ruler, there is application for us today. We all know people who are outcast, discarded, and down-trodden. God wants us to be His voice for them. As God's people, we need to stand up and make a difference for those who are hurting and going through tough times.
Sometimes, when life is tough, it is difficult to speak words of faith over ourselves and we need someone to speak what we cannot find the faith to say. Just as four friends took the lame man to Jesus and lowered him through the roof, we need to be the voice of faith speaking God's promises to those we know who may be lame in their faith. In doing so, we'll see our faith grow stronger as well.
