Who Will Vindicate the Orphan and Oppressed

Evil, as you are aware, abounds on earth. Human trafficking, child abuse, pornography, persecution of Christians, rape, violence, abandonment, murder, the list goes on. 

God is not blind. He sees what is going on in our nation and world. 

God is not deaf. He hears the prayers of those being wronged and the prayers of those interceding on their behalf.

Psalm 10:17-18 assures us that there will be a day of reckoning. 

God will vindicate the orphan and oppressed. “O Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.”

The Bible assures us that God is the vindicator of the orphan and oppressed. He will execute judgment on evil. 

In the meantime, Christ has commissioned believers to be His light to those who are hurting and have been wronged. Rather than wring our hands while we await Christ’s return, we are to act as His ambassadors on earth (2 Corinthians 5:20). In what way are you being, or might you be, the Lord’s presence to someone who has been wronged or to someone whose heart needs strengthening? 

Lord, thank You for the assurance that You hear the humble, the orphan, and the oppressed. Thank You for being the VINDICATOR of the wronged. Use me as Your presence to encourage those who are hurting and need strengthening.
