Oppression Revisited

Day 206: Zechariah 5-8

This is what the Lord of Heaven's Armies says: Judge fairly, and show mercy and kindness to one another. Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners, and the poor. And do not scheme against each other.               ---Zechariah 7:9

This message keeps popping up again and again and again in the prophetic books. It's not just any message; it's the message that got the Israelites in major trouble with God because they did not follow it. May we not be like Israel and abide by this command. The world would be a much better place if we all applied this in our own lives--to the people around us in our local communities.

About Kara

I am Kara Poe Alexander. I began this blog to read the Bible anew, with fresh eyes and an open mind. I hope to grow closer to God, to learn how these ancient stories are still relevant today, and to develop a spiritual discipline of Bible study.
