When I was in academia I heard many discussions about how America would be better off if it didn’t have a white majority. Mass immigration from non-white nations was seen as a means to accelerate change. It was part of reimagining America. Now it seems like all the theories once debated at seminars and workshop presentations are becoming realities through public policies and failures to enforce the laws of the land. I was too naive to know that the people around me had the ability to radically change America. I never imagined that the doors to our nation would be propped wide open. I never knew we would go backwards on civil rights enforcement.
Silly, me! 🙃 What was I thinking? I guess I wasn’t thinking hard enough. #Immigration #RuleOfLaw
Here’s my meditation for today. What do these of Jesus words mean to you?
“All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
John 10: 8-10 (NKJV).
Let’s get this advice from the Apostle Paul deeply rooted in our hearts and minds. Our Christian walk would be so much easier.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4: 4-7 (NIV).
Lord, help us to take delight in you and your promises. May our be lives filled with delight and adventure.
‼️Here’s a scripture I cling to when unexpected events happen that seem bad at the time.
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been calledaccording to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28 (NIV).
ALL THINGS mean ALL THINGS. Think about your life. Do these words bring comfort and trust in the one who knows EVERYTHING? He loves us despite our warts.
