Psalm 82

Verses 3-4...
    Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
        maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
    Rescue the weak and the needy;
        deliver them from the hand of the wicked.


May these words ever be my prayer of compassion. I'm reading Tim Keller's book Ministries of Mercy right now -- how convicting it is to me personally. "Mercy to the full range of human needs is such an essential mark of being a Christian that it can be used as a test of true faith."
