Proverbs 31:8-9
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; defend the rights of all those who have
nothing.
9 Speak up and judge fairly, and defend the rights of the poor and needy.”
Through no fault of their own, many people are taken advantage of and are not able to defend
themselves. Many accept the situation they are in because it has been that way their entire life
and they do not know otherwise. We have a responsibility to step in and speak up for these
people in need. If we see a person in a situation where we can assist, we need to step in and help,
and if we cannot help personally we need to check and see who we can contact to look into the
matter.
Our Lord Jesus cares for and loves each person, and we are His ambassadors on earth, and He
reaches through us to touch other’s lives and help them.
