My Hero: MLK.
So much power and authority packed into one man. Convicted by the truth of the Spirit, he fearlessly sought justice. He moves me. So much progress in the integration of our society can be attributed to his obedience and audacity. Whatever I do in my life, I want to leave that impact. He died for his cause. I’m determined to be that passionate.
But more than the impact he made regarding racism, he was devoted to fighting injustice. In my opinion, that is one of the most admirable marks a man can have. We should all be like that. MLK once said, “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
Pow! Does that hit you like it does me? Join with me. Devote yourself to seeking justice. Protest–through prayer. Its powerful, and I stand confident that God will move against injustice through our prayers. Pray for the women in India being forced into prostitution. The Asians caught up in the caste system. The slaves toiling off the coast in Africa. Russians silenced by corruption. The victims in Darfur. Oppression caused by gangs. Children of addicts. SEEK JUSTICE. You’re finished reading this, obviously you have time on your hands. Say a prayer.
Speak up for the people who have no voice, for the rights of all the down-and-outers. Speak out for justice! Stand up for the poor and destitute! Proverbs 31:9
