Be strong in the Lord … stand firm

Morning: Psalm 30, 32; Isaiah 46:1-13; Ephesians 6:10-24
Evening: Psalm 42, 43; Mark 5:1-20
Governments have long used religion to legitimate their actions. I waited to hear from the religious leaders at the US presidential inauguration as the new president presumed God’s blessing. No prophetic word was spoken. Martin Luther King once preached: “The church is the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool.”  St. Paul warns our struggle is with rulers, authorities and spiritual forces of evil in high places. Let us be strong and pray to be led by God’s light and truth.
