We have been in darkness longer than what I would have believed necessary. And it makes me anxious ....
"For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever." (Psalm 9:18)
" ... they afflict the just; they take a bribe; and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time ... Seek good, and not evil ..."
(Amos 5)
"This will be written for a the generation to come. A People which will be created ... "
"For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you."
Leviticus 26:12 "I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my People."
Thus said the LORD who is planning it,
The LORD who is shaping it to bring it about,
Whose name is LORD:
Call to Me, and I will answer you,
And I will tell you wondrous things,
Secrets you have not known. ~ Jeremiah 33
I long for your deliverance; I hope for Your word.
You bring on darkness and it is night, when all the beasts of the forests stir.
Blessed is the Lord.
Day by day He supports us,
God, our deliverance.
O God, in Your goodness You provide for the needy.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts before Him;
God is our refuge. Selah
Do not trust in violence,
or put false hopes in robbery;
if force bears fruit pay it no mind.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial 'outside agitator' idea. **Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.** ~ Martin Luther King Jr. (Why We Can't Wait)
Isaiah 56:1 "Observe what is right and do what is just; For soon My salvation shall come, And my deliverance be revealed."
