“LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may no more oppress.”
Psalm 10:17-18 KJV
David the psalmist wrote this knowing that man has a special place with God, the Creator of all that is seen and unseen. Yet the only way to reach God is through humility as Jesus showed the Way. The Son of God humbled Himself to become the Son of Man and was obedient to death. Through His Blood sacrifice mankind received grace. God gives grace to the humble but resists the proud. Truth is that when we humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, He lifts us up. God hears the desires of the humble and sees their hopes. God hears their cries and encourages their hearts. The orphans and the oppressed will be terrified no longer, for God brings them justice. Let’s not wait for circumstances to humble us but let’s humble ourselves before God and pray for the oppressed in our land, children who have become orphans, that they receive the righteous justice of the Blood of the Cross. Amen!
