MLK Day!

This year, Martin Luther King Jr.'s holiday has a very special ring to it. This week, our nation will inaugurate the first black president in the history of the United States of America. Even for those of us who did not vote for him due to political differences still acknowledge the great historical event that is occurring. We also must pray for Barrack Obama. When we agree with him, we must pray for him and work to support him. When we don't agree with him, we must pray that his mind will be opened to see the truth. (Assuming we are right on that particular issue.) God tells us to pray for our leaders in 1 Timothy 2: 1-2 and He also reminds us that "The kings heart is in the hand of the Lord" Proverbs 21:1. I realize that Obama will be president, not king, but he is still the ruler of the country. His heart is in God's hands. Celebrate this week of success! Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, and that dream is one step closer to being a reality! And enjoy the day off if you got it!
