Even though Jerusalem was destined to be burned and overtaken, the inhabitants were advised to “Administer justice every morning; rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed.”

It’s as if God was saying through Jeremiah, “Here is something you can do on a daily basis that pleases Me.” It give us insight into a part of God’s nature that He considers very important.

He seems to hate oppression.

DAILY PRAYER: Lord, give me sensitivity to be aware of oppression that needs to cease. Give me courage to minister Your peace to the oppressed.

DAILY READING: Jeremiah 24-27
