Sojourners Verse and Voice – 24 February 2022

Verse of the day
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

– 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)

Voice of the day
It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. [God] gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on this earth. It is an awesome opportunity.

– Cesar Chavez, “Statement by Cesar Chavez at the end of his 24-day fast for justice” (1972)

Prayer of the day
In this world of injustice, may we reach toward one another in encouragement and love.
