Greetings in the Lord! I am reminded that it was one year ago while returning from South Africa that I had a dream of a corrupt military man losing power and a woman took his place. I found out yesterday that at the time of my dream, it was a reality happening in the country of Central African Republic! They were swearing in their new female president, Catherine Samba-Panza. She is a Christian leader, with the tall task of stopping religious violence between the Christians and Muslims in her country. Today's word is for her and for the Christian community there, and for any other Christian who is blessed to go through trials for His namesake. "Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened. But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
