From President Obama's comments on the sudden and unexpected resignation today of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak:
.
"One Egyptian put it simply: Most people have discovered in the last few days…that they are worth something, and this cannot be taken away from them anymore, ever.
This is the power of human dignity, and it can never be denied. Egyptians have inspired us, and they’ve done so by putting the lie to the idea that justice is best gained through violence. For in Egypt, it was the moral force of nonviolence — not terrorism, not mindless killing — but nonviolence, moral force that bent the arc of history toward justice once more."

Be praying for the Middle East that God's Will be done there and that more freedom and more peace will be the result of what may be only the beginning of authoritarian regime change in that region.
