Exodus 4:1-17:
In this passage, Moses expresses doubt about his ability to persuade the Israelites and Pharaoh that God has sent him. God provides Moses with three signs to prove His divine commission: turning a staff into a serpent, making Moses' hand leprous and then healing it, and turning water from the Nile into blood. Despite these signs, Moses remains hesitant, pleading with God about his inadequacy as a speaker. God responds by allowing Aaron, Moses' brother, to serve as his spokesman. God reassures Moses that He will help both of them speak and will teach them what to do. The staff, which turns into a snake, is particularly significant as it symbolizes divine power.

Psalm 57:7-11:
David, in this part of the psalm, expresses his readiness and determination to praise God amidst the challenges he faces. His heart is steadfast, and he vows to sing and make music to glorify God. He calls for the awakening of his soul and all musical instruments at his disposal to praise God. David yearns for God's glory to be exalted above the heavens and His love and faithfulness to be known across the earth. This declaration of praise and trust in God's protection underscores David's deep faith even in dire circumstances.

Proverbs 23:10-11:
This proverb warns against encroaching on the land of orphans or exploiting the weak, because their defender is strong; God Himself will take up their case. The proverb emphasizes the theme of divine justice and protection for the vulnerable against exploitation and injustice.

Matthew 25:31-46:
This passage describes the Parable of the Sheep and Goats, where Jesus talks about the final judgment. He explains that when the Son of Man comes in His glory, all nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. The sheep, representing those who have shown kindness and mercy to those in need, are placed at His right hand and welcomed into the Kingdom prepared for them. The goats, representing those who neglected to care for the needy, are placed at His left hand and are sent away to eternal punishment. This parable underscores the importance of compassionate action as an expression of true faith, illustrating that how one treats the most vulnerable members of society reflects their relationship with God.
