Scripture: Exodus 7:16
Say to Pharaoh, “The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you to say, ‘Let my people go, so that they may worship me in the wilderness.’ But until now you have not listened.”
Thought for the Day: God sends people into dangerous situations. Now I will hear folks say, “God would never send God’s people into places where God could not save them.” Of course, that doesn’t seem to make sense in light of the millions of martyrs who followed the call that lead to their own cross. With that said, God needs our voices to speak a prophetic word over and against the injustices of the world. We need to speak out as Moses did for the sake of the oppressed and enslaved. At times, it just might take us to the doorstep of those who would cause us harm. Yet without our voice, their unrighteous activity goes unopposed and unimpeded. And when that occurs, we can guarantee that many more will face harm.
Prayer: My Lord and my God, in the face of suffering, give me a fearless voice that will speak the truth wherever you feel it necessary. Amen.
