The closing thoughts of Leviticus 19 (vv 32-37) focus on demonstrating respect toward those who are weak in the eyes of the world. The ages (v32), The foreigner (v33), and customers (v36). Even in our day we see the plight that many of the “weak” face. There are plenty of unscrupulous people desiring to take advantage of those who are not aware of the trap they are setting up. The people of God, in Moses’ day and ours, are called to live differently from the world. We are to place the needs of other people ahead of our desire for gain. We are to look for opportunities to elevate those who are in lowly positions and proclaim God’s love and support of who they are.
