“The LORD protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.” (Psalm 146:9 NLT)
Since the last election, immigrants, single mothers, and children from low-income families have become even more marginalized. This torments me greatly. Why does it not bother every Christian equally?
There have always been subgroups of Christians who have found ways to justify slavery, discrimination, war, and hate. I guess we are not much different from other religious groups in this aspect. Human nature is flawed; thus, our interpretations of God’s will and purpose can also be faulty.
As far as I can tell, we serve a God who protects foreigners and cares for orphans and widows. He doesn’t discriminate based on socioeconomic status, nationality, race, or gender. Instead, He holds the wicked accountable. As His followers, are we implementing His will?
