True Judgment and Tender Mercy

“Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.”

Zechariah 7:9-10 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

God tells His people what He really wants: execute true judgment. Show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the stranger, or the poor. Do not imagine evil against each other. This is not a list of lofty ideals. It is a Tuesday-morning checklist for how to treat the people right in front of you.
