Psalm 82:3-4 (KJV)
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
Your blessing is never for yourself. The moment you focus solely on your own comforts and never regard anyone else, you are lost. Some people’s life mission is making sure their rent is paid, their children are fed and in school, refrigerator is stocked, and their car is running – that’s it! They’re content with only meeting their personal needs and chasing their own dreams. Today’s scripture tells you that you are more than that. You can change the course of strangers’ lives.
As a generational captain, a defender of the poor and fatherless, never fold your hands and watch the devil wreak havoc in nations and in the lives of men. God expects us to do something about it. Look around your community today. Who their needs tuition fees? What evil policies need changing in your local schools or universities? Is there a senior citizen who needs your love and care? You have what it takes to change the course of your world and others. You can deliver someone from poverty and defend the voiceless in society, too. Put this into practise as you go out today.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
My whole being is at the Lord’s service. I shall use my resources, voice, and abilities to defend those in need. Amen.
