Even though the above is a hot topic in the national political discourse, the issue is a local one. Collectively, the question is one of governmental policy and procedure; but at the individual level, the question's answer is addressed in this text. If we are strong, we are to stand and speak for those who cannot. We are to be just and fair, keeping the well-being of those who are poor and powerless in mind as we live our lives. Remember, we are not so disconnected as we might think and we only have our health and power for a while. If we live long enough, at some point, we each become dependent on those around us.
Readings: Zechariah 14:1-21; Revelation 20:1-15; Psalm 148:1-14; Proverbs
