Reading: Luke 20:41-47, Hebrews 1:10-14, Proverbs 19:1-14, Isaiah 3-5

Recall:
The LORD enters into judgment
with the elders and princes of his people:
It is you who have devoured the vineyard;
the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
What do you mean by crushing my people,
by grinding the face of the poor? says the Lord GOD of hosts.
Isaiah 3:14-15
Reflect:
It is so easy to not think about the poor, to be solely concerned with my own day-to-day necessities. I say I wouldn't exploit the poor, but how many of my daily practices do just that?
Respond:
I will examine how my actions--my purchases, my daily activities, etc. "ripple out" to other members of society.
