Deuteronomy 27:19
Deuteronomy 27:19
Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.
God actively works to execute justice for the fatherless and widow, showing His deep love for the sojourner by providing food and clothing. This verse portrays God as a compassionate provider, caring for those who lack family support or security. His justice is not passive; it involves tangible acts of provision and care, ensuring that the vulnerable receive what they need. This verse invites us to embody God’s love by caring for those who are marginalized, ensuring that their basic needs are met. Let us be inspired to follow God’s example, extending practical support and kindness to those around us who may be struggling. May we recognize that our role is to be instruments of God’s justice and compassion, offering sustenance, comfort, and respect to those who need it. By doing so, we reflect God’s love and bring hope to the fatherless, widows, and sojourners, honoring the call to care for the least among us.
Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
James 1:27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction.
1 Timothy 5:3
Honor widows that are widows indeed.
Psalm 41:1
Blessed are those who consider the poor; the Lord will deliver them in times of trouble.
