VERSE:
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. — Proverbs 31:8
Thought:
All that we have, our possessions, our position, our power, is not ours; it is a gift from God. These gifts are not given merely to make our lives comfortable; they come with responsibility. God expects us to use what we have to champion the rights of those who lack the means to speak for and defend themselves.
