Friday

Scripture Lesson: Psalm 82 -- True justice

Time to reflect: Re-read verses 3-4. These are what God considers to be the people most needing just treatment.

Moving through the day: Are the weak, orphan, lowly, destitute, and needy able to get full justice and care in our society? Is the church on the forefront of protecting and serving these?

Scripture:

Psalm 82

¹God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

²?How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

³Give justice to the weak and the orphan; maintain the right of the lowly and the destitute.

⁴Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.?

⁵They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶I say, ?You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;

⁷nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince.?

⁸Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you!
