I was at a conference a few years ago, and one of the first things the presenter did was to pair people up and ask them to tell each other Scripture references or Scriptures that had to do with justice, the poor, the oppressed. From memory, we had to share what we knew. This was such a challenging and good exercise! I've heard that there about 2,000 verses that address these topics. My partner and I came up with about 30 total. How about you...care to comment with one?
If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday......you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. Isaiah 58: 9-12
