We hope in the promise

Thursday December 28th, Luke 1: 52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. In doing so, both the rulers and the humble are helped to see they are brothers and sisters in the kingdom of God. In this world, where the gap between rich and poor, power and powerlessness grows greater and greater with each passing year, God has a different plan. As business after business gets bought out or plowed under by larger corporations, we hope in the promise that the proud will indeed be scattered. As the Walmarts of the world wipe out the family businesses in town after town, we hope in the promise that the proud will indeed be scattered. As the powerful start wars to line the pockets of the businesses that support and maintain their power, while our children are dying to maintain that power, while their children wallow in it, we hope in the promise that the proud will indeed be scattered and the rulers brought down from their thrones. But most of all we hope that someday, we will all live as the children of God, brothers and sisters with one another, each doing their part to make this world better for the other.
