TOPIC: Cry For Justice (DCLM Daily Manna 10 January 2022)

TEXT: Psalm 10:12-18 (KJV)

12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

16 The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

KEY VERSE: “Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none” (PSALM 10:15).

MESSAGE:

In July 2018, a horrifying video began to circulate on social media. It showed two women and two young children being led away at gunpoint by a group of soldiers, one of them having a baby strapped to her back. The blindfolded victims were forced to the ground and shot 22 times. The government initially dismissed the video as fake news. But the BBC African Eye, through forensic analysis of the footage, proved exactly where this happened, when it happened, and who were responsible for the killings. This eventually forced the government to arrest the culprits and commence a court trial.

Crying to God becomes the only option when all appeal to man fails. In our text, the psalmist did exactly that. He appealed to God to intervene by seeking out evil people with a view to exposing and punishing their wicked deeds. He pointed out the poor and the fatherless as those mostly affected by oppressors possibly because they have no one to protect them.

Evil is present everywhere. It is in the heart of every unregenerate man. Wickedness, oppression and injustice can be found in the history of all nations. It shows the extent to which people can go in brutality, especially when there is no authority to hold them accountable or when the authorities themselves are culpable in the matter.

This leaves us with no option but to cry unto God who will by no means justify the wicked nor condemn the innocent. The Lord has an arrangement in place to bring evildoers to account and mete out eternal punishment on them.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God will judge those who oppress the poor.
