Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. — Proverbs 31:8

Christians are called to stand up for the rights of the weak, speak up for those who don’t have a voice, and protect the lives of those who are weak. This all-encompassing call is a great reminder that the blessings, rights, wealth, and power we may have do not belong to us alone. They are gifts from God that we should use to help those who cannot speak for themselves, defend themselves, or protect themselves.

Prayer

Father, give your people and me a strong desire to stand up for people who are vulnerable to being abused, left alone, or attacked. Please use us, and especially me, Father, to be a force for good in the time and place where I live and in the people I know. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
