A Life of Love and Justice

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.—Isaiah 1:17 (NIV)
We honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who fought for justice, equality and love. As you reflect on his life, consider how you can contribute to a world filled with love and justice. Let God’s love inspire you to stand up for those in need, promoting peace and compassion in your community.
Lord, help me follow the example of Dr. King, seeking justice and spreading love in a world that desperately needs it.

Develop Unwavering Faith

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.—Psalm 56:3 (NIV)
Fear can be a powerful force, but as Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “Don’t be afraid—just believe. If you have been victimized by the fear of some sinister thing that might happen down the road, just believe and healing will start. If you believe strongly enough, you can drive any apprehensive fear out of your mind.”
Heavenly Father, grant me courage and serenity. Transform my worries into unwavering faith.

Cultivate Patience

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.—Ephesians 4:2 (NIV)
Patience can be a challenging virtue to practice.

Stay on Track

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.—1 John 1:9 (NIV)
Max Lucado wrote that God uses guilt like highway engineers use rumble strips. When we swerve off track, they call us back. Guilt can be a powerful reminder when we veer off course in our spiritual journey. Use it to help you stay on the right path—and if you feel burdened by guilt, trust God’s mercy to love and restore you.
Heavenly Father, thank You for guiding me back to Your path when I stray. Help me maintain a healthy balance between acknowledging my sins and accepting Your mercy and love.
