I finally got around to seeing the Hall of Presidents for the first time after the recent renovation adding President Obama.  It’s a good attraction and certainly worth seeing…at least once.   I usually wander through its doors more for air conditioning than for education reasons, which undoubtedly shows some weakness of character on my part.    Don’t get me wrong – I love my country; I just love Big Thunder Mountain (a roller coaster) too. 

Anyway…I watched the performance and, as always, have to admit that Disney does almost everything well and The Hall of Presidents is no exception.   I think you’ll appreciate the section that highlights Lincoln.  You can watch the whole video or – for just the Lincoln portion – begin watching at about 5 minutes, into the video below:

I love the section where Lincoln says, “I know that there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery.  I see a storm coming; I know His hand is in it.  If he has a place and a work for me – and I think He has - I believe I am ready.  I am nothing but Truth is everything.  And, with God’s help, I shall not fail “  It’s very powerful.  

Isaiah 30:18 says, “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion.  For the Lord is a God of justice.  Blessed are those who wait for Him!

Isaiah 61:8a says, “For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity.”

May we be a people who love justice!
