Some Stand, She Sat For Righteousness - September 3, 2010

Daily Reading

Ezekiel 22-23

Daily Verse

"I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall

and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land

so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none."

Ezekiel 22:30

Daily Thought

"I looked for a man among them who would stand."
--Ezekiel 22:30

December 1, 1955, Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks rode the bus, as usual. She sat in the front row of the section reserved for blacks. A white man got on and there were no more seats in the white section, so the bus driver told Parks to move back. She refused to move.

Instead, God used a woman who sat.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
--Ephesians 6:14-15

To God's Glory,

Daily Prayer

My God, You created this world and called it good. We chose to do things our way, and it has gone bad ever since. We have lost the ability to do good unless we are brought back into a relationship with You, our great God and Savior.

Thank You for the righteousness of Your Son Jesus Christ, which becomes our righteousness when we give our lives to Him. By Your grace, through faith, we can live again displaying Your goodness, serving one another with the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. May we, at all times, stand for Your Kingdom and Your righteousness.

Amen.
