“Who then will harm you if you are devoted to what is good?” (v. 13)

It’s a good question.

“Who will harm you if you are devoted to doing good?”

They might be confounded by you. They might be confused by you. They might even feel confronted by your example.

But it’s hard to want to harm the people who run to the hurting, who help the needy, who show compassion to the lowly, who adopt the orphan and who secure the widow.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be dangers. It does mean, however, that your faith’s most frequent critics will feel their criticism caught in their throats, as you and I go to those they would leave behind.
