Matthew 5:10
"Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Do you speak up when an opportunity presents itself? Do others know where you stand in your faith. I think this is what God asks of us. To speak up and live our faith, to wear it on our sleeves. It gives others strength.
I am not sure why God lead me to this scripture but you can see it being fulfilled right now. If you look around the world, there are those being persecuted for following Jesus. History has a way of repeating itself, Rome was conquered by acts of dedicated love not war.
Dear Heavenly Father, give us strength today to do your will. Watch over us and show us how we can become better in our actions. Protect the innocent and guide us today so we may honor You with our actions. Bring peace into our lives and those that we meet, in Jesus name, Amen.
