If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them. (Ecclesiastes 5:8 NKJV)

Thought For The Week: We are to keep down the fear of man. Set God before us; then, if you see the oppression of the poor, you will not find fault with Divine Providence; nor think the worse of the institution of magistracy, when you see the ends of it thus perverted; nor of religion, when you see it will not secure men from suffering wrong. But though oppressors may be secure, God will reckon for all.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we come before You today acknowledging that You are the highest authority, and You regard all things. We are disheartened by the oppression of the poor and the perversion of judgement and justice that we witness in our world. We pray that You would intervene on behalf of the oppressed and bring about justice where it seems absent. Lord, we ask for Your guidance and wisdom as we seek to be a voice for the voiceless and a source of justice for the oppressed. Please help us to actively work towards creating a fair and just society where every individual is valued and their rights protected. In Jesus’ name, amen.
