In Numbers 27 the daughters of a man named Zelophead (who died in the wilderness) came to Moses to petition the land their father owned.
Since Zelophead had no sons, The custom was that the land would be passed to Zelophead's brothers...without a brother to inherit the land these daughters were essentially homeless (or without inheritance).
When Moses went to God for the daughters of Zelophead, God found that these women were right in their statements and gave them posession of their fathers land.
I love how this story illustrates that God gives proper Judgement and cares intimately about the affairs - not only of nations, but of small families.
He will never leave or forsake us.
