Greetings,


A Call to Defend and Uplift


"Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed."

— Psalm 82:3


Psalm 82:3

Unpacking the Message of Verse Psalm 82:3


Psalm 82:3 is a powerful call to action, commanding God’s people to advocate for the weak, the fatherless, the poor, and the oppressed. It highlights the heart of God for justice and the responsibility of His followers to uphold righteousness in society. This verse is not merely a suggestion but a directive that reflects God’s own character—one of mercy, justice, and unwavering concern for the marginalized.


Defending the weak requires more than passive sympathy; it calls for intentional action. Throughout Scripture, God continually emphasizes His care for the vulnerable. In Isaiah 1:17, He commands, "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow."


This is not an abstract moral ideal but a concrete mission for those who follow Him. The weak and fatherless represent those who cannot defend themselves, whether due to age, economic hardship, or social status. The call to uphold their cause reflects the nature of God as a Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5).


Jesus Himself embodied this mission throughout His ministry. He healed the sick, welcomed outcasts, and restored dignity to those whom society had abandoned. His interactions with the poor, the lepers, the blind, and even tax collectors demonstrated a radical love that broke social and cultural barriers.

In Luke 4:18, Jesus declared, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.” This was not just His mission—it is the mission He entrusts to His followers.


Upholding the cause of the poor and oppressed is more than charity; it is about justice. The biblical concept of justice, or mishpat in Hebrew, goes beyond retributive justice (punishing wrongdoing) and includes restorative justice—ensuring that the vulnerable are protected and given opportunities to thrive. Proverbs 31:8-9 urges, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” God’s people are called to be a voice for those who have none.


Ignoring the plight of the poor and the weak is not an option for believers. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus makes it clear that serving the least among us is equivalent to serving Him. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” This means that acts of justice and mercy are not peripheral to faith—they are at the core of living out the gospel.

This verse also challenges the modern-day believer to reflect on how they can personally uphold justice. It is easy to become desensitized to suffering or assume that addressing systemic issues is someone else’s responsibility. But Psalm 82:3 is a personal call—every Christian has a role to play in standing up for the vulnerable. This can look like advocating for ethical business practices, supporting organizations that fight poverty and human trafficking, mentoring children who lack parental guidance, or even using one’s voice to challenge injustice in the workplace or community.


The church is meant to be a beacon of hope for the oppressed. In Acts 2:44-45, the early believers shared everything they had so that no one was in need. Their radical generosity and care for one another were a testimony to the world about the power of God’s kingdom. The modern church should carry on this legacy, ensuring that the most vulnerable in society are cared for and protected.


Ultimately, Psalm 82:3 reveals the heart of God. He is not indifferent to suffering. He is actively working through His people to bring justice, hope, and restoration. The question is whether His followers will answer the call. Defending the weak, upholding the cause of the fatherless, and fighting for justice is not merely a moral duty—it is an act of worship, a reflection of God’s own righteousness at work in the world.

Closing thoughts as I pray for those reading or hearing this verse today...


As followers of Christ, we are called to reflect His heart for justice, mercy, and compassion.


God desires that we stand up for those who cannot stand for themselves, that we be a voice for the voiceless, and that we extend His love to the broken and the needy.


May we seek opportunities to serve, give, and intercede for those in need.


When we do, we embody the very heart of our Savior, who came to rescue and redeem.


Blessings 🙏🏻

CFTC RULE 4.41 Hypothetical or simulated performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! No representation is being made that the use of this strategy or any system or trading methodology will generate profits. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. There is substantial risk of loss associated with trading securities and options on equities. Only risk capital should be used to trade. Trading securities is not suitable for everyone.

Hypothetical Results Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations - unless noted otherwise that an image or any material discloses live money was used, results displayed or openly discussed are to be assumed simulated for educational purposes only. No live money brokerage accounts will be traded or displayed by request or otherwise.  Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs, in general, are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.
