DEVOTIONAL: FROM INFAMY TO FAITH

DEVOTIONAL BY:

BISHOP DR. CLARENCE McCLAIN

Day 1: The Shattered PeaceBefore December 7, 1941, America’s illusion of peace was shattered, but Jesus offers a peace that cannot be broken—“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.” (John 14:27)

Day 2: The Wound of FearPearl Harbor opened a wound of fear across the nation, yet God gives us courage rooted in love—“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

Day 3: The Burden of InjusticeInjustice spread as Japanese Americans were imprisoned for their heritage, but God’s justice restores dignity—“But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” (Amos 5:24)

Day 4: The Night of WeepingDecember 7 was a night of sorrow and loss, yet God promises that joy will rise with the dawn—“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” (Psalm 30:5)
