Doom to you who legislate evil, who make laws that make victims — Laws that make misery for the poor, that rob my destitute people of dignity … — Isaiah 10:1-2
One thing I have discovered in life is this: Fortunes can quickly change. We may think that security comes in the form of a good job, a late model car and a nice home in the suburbs. But those things can quickly disappear.
I’m struck by this passage in Isaiah because of what God wants for the poor and for the destitute. He wants justice and dignity. I think God knows better than any of us how very fragile our existence is. It comes as a great shock to us, but not to Him, to learn how very vulnerable we are.
But when we make that discovery, where is God? Guarding our dignity. Preserving what matters most — the value He has given us as sons and daughters of the King.
Be encouraged!

What happens when you partner with Dwight Clough Ministries?
Victims of violent crimes and survivors of abuse are finding peace,
wholeness, the power to forgive and the strength to set boundaries.
Those ensnared by addictions are finding freedom. Marriages are being
restored. Families are strengthened. Christian brothers and sisters in
restricted lands who face persecution are finding strength and
encouragement. Young believers are learning how to walk with the Lord,
and people are coming into the faith for the first time. None of this
happens as a result of one person’s efforts, but rather this is God’s
work as He blesses the sacrifice of many people including yourself. We
partner with you, with other ministries, and, most significantly, with
the Lord. That’s how the supernatural happens.
