Sojourners Verse and Voice – 9 May 2025
Verse of the day
Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out; judge righteously; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
– Proverbs 31:8-9
Voice of the day
As Christians, it becomes our duty to keep loving our neighbors — especially those who are persecuted and on the margins.
– Kaeley McEvoy, “Walking Toward Salaam”
Prayer of the day
Give us the courage to speak boldly for the voiceless and to relentlessly love those who are on the margins.
If we are not in a position to speak out, it benefits all the world when we become more aware of the problem and sow loving kindness in the heart toward everyone. This level of “authentic” compassion seems rare. Many go through the motions, but don’t feel it as though the suffering happening to them… indeed it is, as in God we cannot be separate.
Well said, Donna, well said. Thanks for sharing this with me!
