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.
