"Civil disobedience lies at the heart of the Epiphany story: The magi receive an unjust order from a vindictive tyrant. Instead, they defy him. May we do likewise."

Today is Epiphany, celebrating wise leaders who recognized the divinity of Jesus and worshipped him instead of King Herod who wanted their unquestioning worship. May Christians in the US reflect on this lesson for our times, particularly on the five year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection.

In Ps. 10:17 today: 'You have heard the desperate cry of the humble. You will make their hearts strong & bend your ear to their prayers (FNV).' God makes hearts strong for nonviolent resistance to injustice & hearts strong to face our truth. Strong-heartedness is my work today.
