In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right."  - Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King Jr. 

As we honor the work and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the many civil rights activists tomorrow, may we commit to be coworkers with God in our day and time. What is the right we are called to do? Who are the people around us being treated injustly and overpowered? 

Lord Jesus Christ, Have mercy on us. Make haste to help us. Rescue us and save us.  Do your will in our lives. Amen.
