God tells us why we suffer and how we can combat the sin problem at the root of evil and oppression.
“Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save,
or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; but your iniquities have made a separation
between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.
For your hands are defiled with blood
and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies; your tongue mutters wickedness.
No one enters suit justly; no one goes to law honestly; they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies, they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.” Isaiah 59: 1-4 (ESV).
We can do better as individuals and nations. Remember, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Let Him be our solid rock!

Greetings 👋
I take much comfort in these verses. What about you? How has God been faithful to you when the enemy came in like a flood?
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”
Isaiah 61: 1-3 (NIV).
