"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights
of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights
of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:8-9
Over and over again throughout the Bible, God talks about defending the
oppressed, the poor, and the needy. Many of the prophets speak to Israel and
other nations, telling them that they have failed in taking care of the poor. I
would encourage you to always be ready to speak up for those who cannot speak
for themselves. Help the poor and the needy. There are innumerable ways to
carry this out. I'm sure you can find at least some small way to help those who
aren't as blessed as you are. Also, as you consider a career, think of jobs you
could do that would benefit others. Your life will be richer for it, whether or
not your bank account is.
