Day 341 Bible Reading: Hosea 6-9, 3 John 1, Psalm 126 and Proverbs 29:9-11
God created all, rich and poor alike, endowing both with dignity and with responsibilities. This proverb teaches both the rich and the poor, to respect the dignity of others because God created them all, and not to allow oppression. Especially that the oppressor should stop oppressing the poor but value them. For God so love the world – the rich, the poor, the young, the old, the educated and uneducated, he gave his son to all, whoever believes him will have eternal life. The oppressor and the poor are the same. Both need God's love and Grace.
"The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the Lord gives light to the eyes of both." – Proverbs 29:13 (English Standard Version)
"Lord God, bless the efforts of all those who are involved in the tasks of alleviating the suffering of the oppressed and the poor, especially those who minister to them. Pray the oppressors will be touched by you, and they will see what you see, and turn their way to you. In the name of Jesus, Amen."
