Kingly Wisdom

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. Use this day as a way to truly love God through service to mankind in remembrance of one of God’s faithful servants, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
     Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Be blessed and a blessing! Rev. Dr. JoAnn
