<< May 25 >>
For I know the vast number of your sins
        and the depth of your rebellions.
You oppress good people by taking bribes
        and deprive the poor of justice in the courts.
Insight
Why does God put so much emphasis on the way we treat the poor and needy? How we treat the rich, or those of equal standing, often reflects what we hope to get from them. But because the poor can give us nothing, how we treat them reflects our true character.
Challenge
Do we, like Christ, give without thought of gain? We should treat the poor as we would like God to treat us.
