Sojourners Verse and Voice – 12 September 2022

Verse of the day
The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.

– Proverbs 10:7

Voice of the day
… Christian memory should never be subject to the agenda of the state or the interests of the empire. Rather, the people of God remember a God who delivers those who cry out in anguish for relief from the suffering that the powerful inflict upon them.

– David Leong, “Christians must challenge the selective memory of #NeverForget”

Prayer of the day
God of perfect memory, in the aftermath of tragedy, may we strive to remember rightly, for to do so is an act of justice.
