MLK- Viergelie's Post



Wisdom literature touches on all issues that explore the meaning of life. God understands things that man is incapable of of understanding. In First Corinthians 1:25, Paul said, "Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man, and the weakness of God is stronger than men." Martin Luther King Jr. remains the single most powerful determinant in the American Civil Right Movement. His basic message was a simple one: "To my children... for whom I dream that one day soon they will no longer be judged by the color of of their skin but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King's wisdom helped him to win the victory he believed that right behavior leads to right consequences. He was a wise man who made a difference . Proverbs 8:17 says to seek wisdom diligently. In the book of David, it says loving wisdom involves discipline of the heart. Now a days, we credit others for being wise but a wise person is the one who fear God and trust in Him no matter what. How wise are you if you don't fear God. In the book of John, it says that the word becomes flesh. One needs to chew the word of God well and must let it dwell in you for the purpose of the word becoming a part of you. In Proverbs 13:10 it says, "Where there is strife, there is pride, but wisdom is found in those who take advice." Martin Luther King had such a hope to see all people no judged by the external. He knew that it was better to humble. He marched in peace. He didn't want violence and was always for peace. Proverbs says that listening to wisdom is to live or gain an abundant life. As wise Christians, He obeyed the wisdom of God because of that, he succeeded.
