Psalm 82
GIVING JUSTICE TO THE WEAK
“Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless….” Psalm 82:3, NIV
Today’s devotion is a continuation of what God started ministering to us yesterday. The message is a consolation for the oppressed, the weak and the helpless. It is quite amazing that God pays serious attention to these categories of people.
Are you currently being oppressed by someone you cannot possibly handle by yourself? Be encouraged by God’s Word today. He will intervene in your situation. Maybe the oppressor is even someone close: your spouse, children, parents, bosses, pastors, leaders, or even the government. Whoever it is is surely currying God’s wrath. So, relax; God is already fighting for you.
On the other hand, you need to examine yourself. Hope you are not also an oppressor to some seemingly helpless people. Hope you are not usurping authority? If you are guilty of any of these, you will need to repent today lest God rises against you as He did to Pharaoh. Some people treat their mates, spouses, children or wards as slaves or even animals. Heed God’s warning now and repent before it is too late!
Defend the cause of the weak and helpless. Strengthen them. Then, you too can be sure of God’s help.
