God's Heart for the Orphan

Recently, I have been convinced of God's plan and decided in my heart to be faithful as He unfolds His plan to advocate for orphans. I am also discovering God's heart for the orphan.

My daily devotion led me to Jeremiah chapter 5. I was really hoping to be led to another passage to read, since Jeremiah is the weeping prophet. It is a book filled with warnings about unfaithfulness and turning from God.

Jeremiah 5:28
They are fat, they are sleek,
They also excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the orphan, that they may prosper,
And they do not defend the rights of the poor.

Isaiah 1:23
They do not defend the orphan

Zechariah 7:10
and do not oppress the widow or the orphan

Jeremiah 22: 3b
And do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow

Proverbs 23: 10-11
Do not move the ancient boundary
or go into the fields of the fatherless
For their Redeemer is strong;
He will plead their case against you

God must be serious about giving aide to the orphan and not harming them.
I know that no matter what I can not give up on this endeavor to aide the orphan.
It is not such an easy journey. I have been easily discouraged. God's word is always there to confirm and comfort. For instance, right before this passage in Jeremiah, I read:
Isaiah 66: 7-9a
Before she travailed, she brought forth;
Before her pain came, she gave birth to a boy.
Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things?
Can a land be born in one day? Can a nation be brought forthall at once?
... "Shall I bring to the point of birth and not give delivery?", says the Lord.

This is going to be difficult. This aspiration to advocate is going to be tough. It's gonna take courage. I thought of this post by Dr. David. I must be willing to press through the pain. Because their is no stopping, their is no turning back.
You parents who are adopting, you can't stop and you can't turn back. The ones you desire to give a home, love, yourself to, you know their pain. It has become your pain. Push through the pain, because at the end their is love and happiness, healing and strength, joy and hope.
Don't give up. The hurtles seem high, God is higher.
