Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. died at 39 years old, Born: January 15, 1929, died: April 4, 1968 (assassination),Birthplace: Atlanta, Georgia, United States: Best known as: The civil rights hero who said "I have a dream"

Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr. was an African-American clergyman who advocated social change through non-violent means. A powerful speaker and a man of great spiritual strength, he shaped the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama from 1954-59. There he led blacks in the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, an action inspired by the arrest of Rosa Parks when she refused to give up her seat on a public bus. Racial segregation on city buses was ruled unconstitutional in 1956; the boycott ended in success, and King had become a national figure. King returned to his home town of Atlanta in 1959 and became co-pastor with his father of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, a position he held until his death. On the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1963, King organized a march on Washington, D.C. that drew 200,000 people demanding equal rights for minorities.Martin Luther King won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, becoming at the time the youngest recipient ever. His writings included Stride Toward Freedom (1958, a history of the Montgomery bus boycott), Why We Can’t Wait (1963) and Where Do We Go From Here? Chaos or Community (1967). King was shot to death by James Earl Ray in 1968 while visiting Memphis, Tennessee.

Good morning Children of God
The Living Word of God-Choose !

Children of God, our everyday life in Christ is described as a race. We’re off and running in this marathon, and each sunrise presents new challenges as we hurry along. All the while, we know that God has provided the path we’re supposed to take. Today, choose your path foolishness or rightness? For it is written in 1 Corinthians 1:25-29, Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise,For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. God has giving wisdom to us, that by his word and Spirit, and from his fullness and treasures of wisdom and knowledge, we may receive all that will make us wise unto salvation, and fit for every service to which we are called for His glory. Don't be discouraged, lets choose to be like the wise man. Scripture says we are to "run with patience (endurance, persistence) the race set before us, looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith.Run your race with gladness, joy, peace and love. The prize awaiting us is the Savior of our souls, and He is watching and waiting for us at the finish line. He’s busy working on us as we run the race now, trust Him. Run the race that is set before you. But run it with the hope that God wants you to have in Christ. Heavenly Father we thank you everyday for your word of truth. We thank you for the things you do for us daily. Where would we be without you Lord. Thank you for always loving us. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !
