“…the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless” (Psalm 10:14b).
I think one of the reasons orphans are often taken advantage of by oppressors is because they believe the lie that God has forgotten them. It’s easy to think that way when you feel deepdespair. However, when orphans or other needy inviduals come to God they find Him a helper and sustainer. All who come to Him find the truth of these words: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1) God has promised to help the fatherless, and He always keeps His promises.
