Psalm 2:10 – “Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.”
As we celebrate the life and legacy of
civil rights leader, Martin Luther King, Jr., it is imperative that we honor
the God who guided his steps and set him on the pathway of global
recognition. Around the world people are
familiar with the image and works of Dr. King and the more I learn of his life
the more committed I am to serve. There
are many stories of options Dr. King exercised that left him without the
benefit of much of what he had earned.
He would often give back or refuge stipends given for his preaching or
public speaking. He did not even utilize
the monetary gain from earning the Noble Peace Prize
We
too can learn to share beyond basic measure.
Today we celebrate the King legacy by not using the holiday as a day ‘off’
but as a day “on”. Find someone who
could use your assistance and make yourself available to help. Volunteer your services at a shelter, food
bank, community clean-up project or a nursing home. We should be ‘on’ point to assist as needs
arise.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to
make it a GREAT day. Be blessed and a
blessing! Dr. JoAnn
