Isaiah 1:17 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Seeking Justice Like Our Father

In Isaiah 1:17, God calls His people to “learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” These are not just suggestions—they are commands rooted in God’s own heart for justice.

Isaiah highlights three of the most vulnerable groups in his time: the oppressed, the fatherless, and the widow. Their suffering was not to be ignored—it was to be confronted. And the same is true today.

Who are the oppressed? They are those weighed down by injustice, those suffering under the burden of wrongdoing. Defending them is more than offering comfort—it means stepping up, challenging oppression at its source, and refusing to be passive in the face of evil.

Who are the fatherless? In God’s design, parents are protectors and champions for their children. But in a broken world, many children are left without defenders, vulnerable to harm. Taking up their cause means more than acknowledging their need—it means stepping in, seeing their struggles as our own, and becoming the hands and feet of Jesus on their behalf.

Who are the widows? In Isaiah’s time, a woman without a husband often had no security or provision. Even today, many face deep hardship after losing their spouse. Pleading their case isn’t just about sympathy—it’s about advocacy, ensuring they are not ignored, mistreated, or left without support.

The call to justice has always been central to God’s heart. Justice is not separate from faith—it is an expression of it. To follow Jesus is to care about what He cares about, to love those He loves, and to take action on behalf of those who cannot fight for themselves. This isn’t optional. It’s what it means to be a child of God.

When we seek justice, we reflect the heart of our Father, who is always near to the brokenhearted, always championing the cause of the vulnerable, and always working through His people to bring justice to the world.

Are You Ready?

The greatest measure of who we are and what we love is how we spend our time. 

Where do you spend most of your time? Most of us spend the majority of it with family, at work, or on hobbies. All of those are important things that we should invest in. But Jesus says there’s another thing that we need to spend time doing.

There are a lot of different ideas people have for when Jesus will return, but ultimately, Jesus says that nobody will know the time and date. He will come at a time when we least expect Him.

So until He does come, He says that we should be ready. We tend to spend most of our time working on finding the right career, or pursuing certain relationships, or building wealth and possessions. And yet, none of those things will prepare us for when Jesus returns.

So what can we do to prepare? 

The first thing is to put your faith in Jesus, by believing that He gave His life so that you could have eternal life. Next, commit to spending time with Him, confessing your ...
