Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey! What will you do on the day of punishment, in the ruin that will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth? Nothing remains but to crouch among the prisoners or fall among the slain. For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still. (Isaiah 10:1-4 ESV)
How many of us have rules for how someone should act in a given situation? And then what happens when they don’t act that way?
We oppress people when we say they have to conform to our way of living and our way of thinking. We keep the widows and orphans in places where we can hoard our power over them. We can not hide from the wrath that is to come when we do not treat God’s people as our equals.
So we need to drop our preconceived notions and understanding for how every one should live and live as God’s light and show people the way to God and allow Him to make the world and people as He has designed them to be.
