I've been reading a verse the last few days that I don't remember having read before and I like it.
Job 5:15b-16
"He saves the needy from the hand of the mighty, so the poor have HOPE and injustice shuts her mouth."
I can worship a God who does that, I can look at a God who fights for the poor, who speaks hope to the broken and silences the hand of the oppressor against them and I can love, because he is love and I can serve, because he's served and I can stand and say that whatever may come against me, I know there is a good God in heaven who fights on behalf of the needy and I want to follow him.
And I don't always get it and I don't always know what to do in the situations I face, but my heart can break for the things that break his heart and my heart can rejoice for the things that make his heart rejoice and I can love this God.
