Job 19:7

Job 19:7 7 "Though I cry, 'I've been wronged!' I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.

Job’s cry is the cry of the pained. Most of us have had very few times that we’ve been wronged, certainly almost none of us have been wronged to the extent that Job has been wronged in his life. Job is expressing this statement to his friends. One of the greatest dangers for friends and families of a victim is not to actually see them as a victim. We are to close to the situation to see clearly what is going on. That is why it often takes an outsider to report child abuse or spousal abuse. As Christians one of our responsibilities is to stand up against injustice, to challenge abuse and abusive systems. Whether they are questions about marriage and marriage rights, or our governments oversea policies. We have a call to stand with those whom injustice is being perpetrated against.
