So as the celebration of “Black History Month” narrows to an end, let us praise Him for being a God of restoration, transformation, recovery, and hope! Because we are, as a chosen people of God, a living testimony to the true statement that “God is able.”.

He wants us to be able to look back and testify to His faithfulness, His goodness, and His loving kindness toward us. He doesn’t want us to forget where we came from. “I brought you out,” is His reminder to us.

So, remember, no matter how dark our dark places have been, or how fierce the battle is today, know that all things work together for the good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. For it is not by power nor by might but by the spirit of God-the wisdom, authority, power, and presence of the Lord-that freedom, equality, and justice will come. Because “Black Lives” have always mattered to God. So let us keep telling the stories so that we will never lose our own sense of awe and wonder of what God has done for us. For the stones shall be a memorial forever. Let us remember what He has done, how He has rescued us, how He has provided for us, and the way He has saved us. As the celebration of “Black History Month” narrows to an end, let us remember as a chosen people of God, the things of God.
