God has saved and redeemed us through Jesus Christ. Because of this, we are carriers of the Gospel of Hope, and we are proof of God's love for humanity. Therefore, we must do just as Paul did, share the exciting news of God with others.

As Christ's followers, we are to be testimonies of what it means to be good. We are to be the living replicas of Jesus and treat others with love and compassion, even when they mistreat us. We are to be good humans.

No matter how much we try, it is impossible to eliminate the difficult moments in our lives. No matter who we are, the bumps of life will come to us all. However, there is good news for those in Christ. Just as the woman with the issue of blood found hope by touching the hem of Jesus' garment, we too can find hope when it seems we are hanging on by a mere thread.

We are reminded of the deniable strength of a man who takes up the weapon of intercessory to fight against the enemy. Lot's life was spared twice because Abraham stood in the posture of protector for Lot and his family, and God needs men to do the same for their families and communities.

Reflecting on the historic day of the March On Washington For Jobs and Freedom, Mel honors the 60th anniversary by reminding Christ's followers to obey God's word and do what is just, show love, and stand in unity with like-minded believers. Christians are called to be God's agents of love and justice.

In Psalm 56 David cries unto God when he is captured by the Philistines in Gath. Despite his current situation, David declares that he need not fear his enemy because of the confidence he has that God is for him.

Just like David, we can rest in the assurance that if we are walking in God's righteousness God is with and for us in every circumstance that will come against us. So we can walk in this new week knowing that we are not alone, God is for us.

Psalm 100:3 reminds us as believers that we have a responsibility to acknowledge the sovereignty of our God. As we submit to His Lordship we position ourselves to reap the benefit of His tender love for us.
