Scripture of the Day - Matthew 5:9

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."

Reflection

As we honor Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on the profound message of Matthew 5:9. Dr. King, a true peacemaker, echoed the sentiments of this Scripture in his life’s work. In a world often divided by differences, this verse and Dr. King's legacy remind us of the blessing and responsibility we have as peacemakers. To be peacemakers means more than just avoiding conflict; it means actively working towards reconciliation, understanding, and unity. It is about building bridges where there are walls, and shining light in places of darkness. As children of God, we are called to embody this spirit of peace, following in the footsteps of leaders like Dr. King, who walked in faith and love.

Today's Prayer

Heavenly Father,
On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are reminded of Your call for us to be peacemakers. Lord, guide us in Your path of peace and unity. Help us to see Your face in every person we meet and to act with compassion and understanding. Strengthen us to stand against injustice and division, carrying forth the legacy of Dr. King in our daily lives. May we be instruments of Your peace, spreading love and reconciliation in a world in need of Your grace. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
