THE CONFIDENT WOMAN DEVOTIONAL: BE COURAGEOUS
TEXT: Num 27: 1-4
Rosa Parks (1913-2005) was the unknown seamstress
who started the modern American Civil Rights Movement. On December 1, 1955, in
the city of Montgomery, Alabama, she refused to move to the back of the bus
after a white man got on board and wanted to sit in a front seat. Rosa’s mother
believed “you should take advantage of the opportunities, no matter how
few they were.” Rosa said that her lifelong acquaintance with fear made
her determined and gave her the courage to appeal her conviction during the bus
boycott that followed her arrest and conviction. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled
that segregation on buses was unconstitutional. Parks was the first woman to
receive the Martin Luther King Jr. Nonviolent Peace Prize.

Rosa refused to live in fear; she was determined to
have what was rightfully hers, and her determination sparked government reform
for all.

From Rosa’s life, we see that if one person is
courageous enough to step out and attempt to do something about a problem,
other people with the same desire will also come forward.

Pray: Lord, help me to always have the courage to
not allow others to take what is rightfully mine. Help me to confront what is
wrong with the truth of Your Word. Amen.
