He is safe because he trusts the Lord-Psalm 112:7 (ICB)
Jesus inspires us… Worship your worries? That sounds crazy, doesn’t it? But whatever you think about the most becomes your god, your idol, the thing you worship. When your worries take on a life of their own and take over your thoughts, you are worshiping your worries.
I want you to break free from your worries. How? By trusting Me. By thinking about Me. By worshiping only Me. No one else knows what goes on inside your mind, not your friends, not your teachers, not even your parents. But I know your every thought, so be careful concerning what you choose to think about. I am constantly searching your thoughts for a sign of your trust in Me. When I find that your thoughts are about Me, I rejoice!
Jesus concludes… Choose to think about Me, more and more, this will keep you close to Me.
Psalm 112:7, 1 Corinthians 13:11
Footnotes Psalm 112:7-8 We all want to live without fear, our heroes are fearless people who take on all dangers and overcome them. The psalm writer teaches us that fear of God can lead to a fearless life. To fear God, means to respect and revere him as the almighty Lord. When we trust God completely to take care of us, we will find that our other fears, even of death itself, will subside.
Passage 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
Footnotes 1 Corinthians 13:10-12 When Paul wrote of knowing “fully, even as I am fully known,” he was referring to when we must see Christ face-to-face. God gives believers spiritual gifts for their lives on earth in order to build up, serve, and strengthen fellow Christians so that they ca be better encouraged and equipped to share the love of God with the world. Spiritual gifts are given only to believers. In eternity, we will be made perfect and complete and will be in the very presence of God. We will no longer need spiritual gifts, so they will come to an end. Then, we will have a full understanding and appreciation for one another as unique expressions of God’s infinite creativity. We will use our differences as a reason to praise God! Based on that perspective, let us treat each other with the same love and unity that we will one day share.
THE WORLD…we see history
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. IS THE MAN, MOST RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 AND THE VOTING RIGHTS
ACT OF 1965, ACTS WHICH HELPED RIGHT THE COURSE
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. 1929–1968 It was 1954 and the U.S. Supreme Court had ordered the desegregation of schools. But with racism and inequality still rampant in many sectors of society, a young preacher from Atlanta, the latest in a family line of ministers, decided to join—in fact, help launch “the movement.” By 1955, Martin Luther King Jr. had assumed leadership of the historic Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott, which triggered similar actions throughout the South, and in 1957 he founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which advocated a nonviolent struggle for justice. King was one of the greatest, his biblical cadences (Balanced, rhythmic flow).
In 1958, as his wife, Coretta Scott King, looks on, Dr. King is shoved against
the police station desk after being arrested for loitering at the Montgomery Courthouse.
When the officers learned who they had busted, they released him.
The WORD…we see Jesus, His Story!
In march after march, he led them: in Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Washington, D.C.—where he declared his dream, “that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Because of his tactics and persona, he was not seen as “radical” like others who were fighting for equality in this era, and he was listened to by many who turned a deaf ear to the Black Panthers, certainly, and to Malcolm X. When King’s followers kept their dignity and poise as they were being assaulted by dogs and fire hoses, and Americans saw this on the nightly news, public opinion turned. There is still prejudice and inequity, to be sure. But the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. effected tangible change before he was assassinated in Memphis in 1968—his work not yet done, but well and truly started.
