The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
—Psalm 10:2 (KJV)
God hates violence, intimidation, or any means used by the powerful to control, manipulate, hound, and enslave those who are weaker or more vulnerable. God loathes wickedness based upon the strong and the abusive, preying on the weak and powerless — the sexual predator who abuses and enslaves the innocent and vulnerable is just one example. By our actions and resources, we must demonstrate to the weak and the helpless that there is a God of love who demands justice for those who practice evil and prey on them. Let's make sure arrogant and abusive people ARE caught in their sinful schemes and brought to justice!
Give me a heart, O God, that disdains the abuse of power and the misuse of wealth and influence. Thank you, dear God, for sending Jesus to save me when I was powerless to bring about my salvation (Romans 5:5-11). Please give me a heart like Jesus when I see others being abused, enslaved, or trafficked. In the name of my Savior, Jesus, I pray for your help as we seek to eliminate such manipulative forms of violence. Amen.
