How often worldly might prevails, sometimes even over right. But we should realize that might is not genuine power.

We could learn a great lesson by remembering the exodus from Egypt of the Israelites. The Pharaoh had great material might, but the Israelites had a different type of might. They had might which comes from a united loyalty to a just cause. That just cause was their desire for religious freedom. The Israelites wanted to be free to worship their God. Not all the might of Egypt could permanently keep them in bondage when they had such a righteous cause.

The lesson should be clear to us today. We must be alert that we stand up for genuine religious freedom. We must stand up for such freedom with the same faith, devotion and certainty as did the Israelites who were captives in Egypt so long ago. If we do, we will prove that righteousness, that is, genuine right, is permanent might.
