The Strength to Fight
Manage episode 407789352 series 3545165
“..and I prayed to God to make me strong and able to fight, and that's what I've always prayed for ever since." - Harriet Tubman
I believe the world is changed for the better by people who stop accepting the unacceptable. Our individual lives are changed for the better, when we stop accepting the unacceptable.
Tubman changed her own life when she escaped to freedom. She reasoned that she was going to have her freedom or she was going to have her death. What she wasn’t going to have was a life of servitude.
Initially, she celebrated her own freedom. It was her personal jubilee. But she felt so much compassion for those who were left behind that she made up her mind that she would fight for their freedom with every ounce of her being.
Her prayer was for the strength to fight. And God answered her prayer. More than anything sometimes, we have to the determination fight for what is right, for ourselves, our families, our communities, and the world.
Pray for the the strength and courage to fight. Pray for the wisdom to know how to fight, and God will answer our prayers.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
