The Dream Must Live On
Martin Luther King Jr. set a profound example for me in day-to-day living. He was such a young man — just twenty-six years old — when I first met him at the beginning of the bus boycott. I was forty-two.
I’ll always remember the way Dr. King would respond to violence. He would use the same words that Jesus said on the cross:
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Brutality was to be received with love, he would say. Though I knew we needed to strive for nonviolence, when I saw the brutal treatment some of us got, I had trouble believing it was always the best thing to do.
Dr. King was a true leader. I never sensed fear in him. I just felt as though he knew what had to be done and took the leading role without regard to consequences. I knew he was destined to do great things. He had an elegance about him and a speaking style that let you know where you stood and inspired you to do the best you could. He truly is a role model for us all. The sacrifice of his life should never be forgotten, and his dream must live on.

Dr. King took Luke 23:34 to heart and his life impacted generations worldwide after him. What would happen if we responded with love today? Come share with us on our blog. We want to hear from you! ~ Devotionals Daily
A Prayer for the Present
“Show me, LORD, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.” – Psalm 39:4
Heavenly Lord, our time on earth may be short, but it still provides us with so many blessings. Help us not to waste the life we’ve been given.
My friend, you are in Christ and you have been declared righteous…and that not of yourselves it is a gift from God. It is a gift, what God has done with you.
Look at what it says in James 4:14 – “…For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.”
We are here on this earth for a short time compared to eternity. We cannot afford to get stuck in the past nor be fearful of the future. We cannot rest on our mistakes and we cannot rest on our successes either; we have to move on. We must be careful that past mistakes do not hold us back, and we must be careful that our successes do not distract us from the present. You see, we are here for a moment and then we’re gone. Move on ahead and ask God what He would have you do with this gift of time and what lies ahead in 2018.
Heavenly Father, in the days ahead may we always look to you and seek to grow more in your teachings. Amen.
