The Widow and the Fatherless (Part Two)
CGG Weekly by Mike FordOur God has called and chosen us to serve Him and others with humility, being especially sensitive to the needs of those who are socially and economically limited, such as widows and the fatherless. We are to provide help when we see a genuine need among them, as they are often the weakest among us and in most cases unable to work. God sets the example, as David writes in Psalm 68:5, that He is a father to the fatherless and a defender of widows in His holy habitation. God Himself declares in Jeremiah 49:11 to leave the fatherless children to Him for preservation and to let widows trust in Him, showing His care for their rights and welfare. In Jeremiah 7:1-11, God speaks through His prophet, commanding the people of Judah to change their ways and stop taking advantage of orphans and widows, promising safety and a long life in their land if they reform. God's ordering of priorities places the care of widows and the fatherless near the top of the list of actions needed to return to a proper relationship with Him, emphasizing the importance of protecting and looking out for the weak among us.
