Until Justice Rolls Down

This week I visited Montgomery, Alabama, a city full of history and charm. Don't get me wrong, it has had its infamous moments, but without those moments this country, even this world would be a different place.
Montgomery is the birthplace of the first capital of the Confederacy and the Civil Rights Movement. Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America was inagurated on the steps of the State Capitol Building two blocks from the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church where their pastor (1954-1960), the Rev. Dr. Martin L. King Jr. gained national attention for civil rights issues. December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks became a civil rights heroine in the city by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man.
You see there has been a lot of pain in Montgomery, but there has also been a lot of triumph. Through out it all Jesus was there with His people watching, praying, and remaining after all the dust settled. Today, there are beautiful memorials of what was, so that the future generations may have a taste of what struggles they were graciously spared.
Today, Montgomery is full of new hope and prosperity. The River Region is being developed, new businesses are moving in and the Biscuits Baseball team is winning! Life is good.
