Ecclesiastes 5:8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.

It took me a while to think about this verse today, not because it is so early in the morning but because I do tend to care a lot for others in need.

We live in a world where corruption is everywhere and where there are going to be poor and needy people who are treated badly.

This does not say we should just ignore things. This says that God is watching over everyone and sees everything.

That means be the Good Samaritan and help people instead of walking the other side. God wants us to join in and help.
