We Go High
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. -Isaiah 40:31
Over the years, the number of African American women earning a graduate degree has increased, despite the existence of laws that once prohibited equitable access to an education.
Our ancestors challenged these laws that made it impossible for individuals in disenfranchised communities to reap the benefits of better employment opportunities and higher wages.
The growth in the number of African American women with graduate degrees is not only a reflection of the unshakable faith of our ancestors, but also calls us to soar beyond the depths of their limitations and the heights of their accomplishments.
No matter what obstacles and challenges we have faced, God is faithful.
It’s amazing how God will continuously renew our strength (Isaiah 40:31). Even when we attempt to do something that seems impossible, He has a way of moving us beyond our fears to a higher calling. God trains us with His Word: “Do not be dismayed, for I am your God” (Isaiah 41:10). God “will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in [him]” (Isaiah 26:3).
God’s plans for us are often beyond what we could ever ask or think. In His strength, we can achieve more than our ancestors ever dreamed. As we stand on the shoulders of those whose sacrifices charted a path for us, we are constantly reminded of God’s presence. His faithful love carries us from generation to generation.

What have you been asking God to give you the strength to do? Despite any challenges, how will you begin working toward your goals?
God of perfect peace, I am thankful that because of You I have the strength to do what You have called me to do.
