Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Colossians chapter 1 verses 11 and 12:
11May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father . . .
We need to be made strong now.
We need to be prepared to endure.
Powerful forces are at work now to put in order a certain moral vision for the United States of America.
The separation of church and state is being abrogated.
Guaranteed rights are being challenged, curtailed, and left to state legislatures to decide. State legislatures!
The ultimate right that buttresses and protects all other rights — the right to vote — has been whaled.
We must draw strength now, friends. We have to organize. We have to stand firm. We have to resist. And we have to endure.
Open your eyes, beloved. Summon your strength and your spirit. It’s a long road to freedom, and hard as the times are and we have to keep walking.
We cannot be overcome.
Ryon Price is Senior Pastor of Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas.
