This past week saw the occurrence of two major events, the majesty her Queen turning to the ripe age of 90 in addition to the burial of Muhammed Ali which was a service comprising of many various religious leaders.
Both the Queen and Muhammed Ali have been in the public eye since they were young and have persistently been recognised and idolised. Furthermore, they both have displayed their exceptional oratory skills which is evident from the Queenâs annual Christmas speech and besides his dazzling boxing skills âthe Louisville Lipâ was both poetical and outspoken.
Everybody has a reason for a season; the Queenâs has had to hold steady the monarchy and the country through times of hardship, sorrow and pain in her personal and public life as well as being a figure of inspiration for women across the globe. From one of her Christmas speeches the Queen stated âFor Christians, as for all people of faith, reflection, meditation and prayer help us to renew ourselves in Godâs love, as we strive daily to become better peopleâ.
Muhammed Ali transcended his status as a boxer (whom many considered to be the greatest) has been a socially uplifting figure for people on a whole around the world speaking out against injustice spreading and promoting self-love and respect for others as his primary message.
In the same week that we celebrated the birthday of a great monarch and the celebrated the life of a legend, we should try embark on having a spirit like Esther.
Be deliverance and a relief for everyone and arise in times of injustice (Esther 4:14).
This week, reflect on your purpose, fulfil your destiny as we celebrate life to the glory of God.
Amen!
