Proverbs 31:8 - Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.

THINK: If you watch the news or are active on social media, it seems like injustice exists everywhere. To be sure, there are many places around the world, and sometimes in our neighborhood, where people are mistreated. Since everyone has been created in God’s image

(Gen 1:27), everyone should be treated with respect.

Sadly, not every is able to care for themselves and many can become a victim of someone who wants to take advantage of them. Do you know someone like this? Maybe it is a loved one, friend, or acquaintance. How could you help them?

CHALLENGE: If you know someone who is being mistreated, pray and think about how you could help them. Can you stand up for them or get them the help they need? Perhaps a parent, teacher, or even someone in law enforcement should get involved to make sure that this person is able to be protected. If you feel scared, pray and ask that God would give you courage and wisdom to do the right thing. You might be just the person that God uses to make a huge difference in their life.
