## Resource

True righteousness requires active protection of the vulnerable, even at great personal cost. This devotional connects the courageous resistance of Dr. Adelheid Schmertmann to the biblical warnings issued to the kings of Judah.

## Highlights
- Main idea: True justice involves actively delivering the oppressed from the hands of their oppressors
- Historical example: Dr. Adelheid Schmertmann risked her life in Auschwitz to protect Jewish prisoners from medical experiments
- Failure mode: King Jehoiakim's pursuit of luxury and violence led to a legacy of divine judgment and social ruin
- Practical takeaway: Obedience to God's commands is the only way to ensure the flourishing of a nation or individual
- Warning: Refusing to heed warnings of injustice leads to inevitable consequences that even powerful leaders cannot avoid
