See You Next Time?

Read: 1 Chronicles 16:23-36

Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. —1 Chronicles 16:23

Bible In One Year: 1 Chronicles 7-9; John 6:22-44

---

It was a Sunday afternoon several years ago. The whole family was gathered around the table for dinner. Our 4-year-old son Stevie led off our pre-meal prayer: "Dear heavenly Father, thank You for this nice day. Thank You that we could go to church and Sunday school today." Then, to our surprise, he said, "And we'll see You again next week."

What Stevie said in his prayer is how we often view the Christian life, I'm afraid. We easily fall into a see-you-next-time attitude about God. We forget about Him as we fulfill our daily responsibilities. We go for days at a time trying to pay the bills, keep the boss happy, and give attention to each family member. But we neglect to give God the time He deserves.

First Chronicles 16 gives us some facts about God's power and majesty that we can think and talk about "from day to day" (v.23). We can "declare His glory" (v.24) and recognize His hand of creation in the heavens (v.26). We can talk of His honor and majesty, the strength He possesses, and the gladness He gives us (v.27).

Each day brings new reasons to pray to God, to praise His name, and to proclaim His love. Let's make our worship of Him something we do "from day to day." —Dave Branon

Worship, praise, and adoration
Render now to Jesus' name;
Freely give your heart's devotion,
Constantly His love proclaim. —Anon.

No day is complete without worship.

Thanks, the picture was taken at the base of the Washington Monument. Have you ever been there?

[The Mayor]

I have never been there although my wife and kids have.
I had to work.

Lots of great information here, you did a fantastic job putting it all together.

Beautiful, beautiful beautiful! Thank you for this wondrous presentation ((((((Aqua)))))).

Many, many years ago (I won't say how many, but here's a hint: JFK was president!) I visited the nation's capital with my parents and climbed the monument, step by step, with my Dad. You have brought back some very nice memories. I remember having my picture taken in front of the statue of Iwo Jima and a tour of the White House, hoping to catch a glimpse of our president.

(((((HUGS))))))) to *ALL* and to my speshul fuzzy brothah [[[[[{{{{{(((((Louie_Wolfie_Man)))))}}}}}]]]]] and to the resident *curmudgeon* (((((((skinny dood)))))))))).

Ciao! :-)

Thanks for the compliment, I enjoyed putting this one together. Was pretty easy to do this time. :)

You should take your family back there one day and visit the the monument. It's very impressive.

[The Mayor]

"Almighty God;
We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection;
that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government;
and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.
And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice,
to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific
temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our
blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things
we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication,
we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

What a Beautiful Prayer!
If only the anti religous zealots weren't around, what a wonderful Country we could be again.

Wonder if any of the other news networks are paying attention.
Saw your graphics over on that thread. They look great!

[Aquamarine]

I have a vague memory of visiting the monument with my family when I was a teen-ager. Seemed like my mom and I made it halfway up the monument on the stairs and my dad and brother went on up to the top. Remember my brother bragging about the view up there.

Drove by it years later with Mr. A.

That's a great picture of George Washington! Wouldn't it be wonderful if all the politician's had the wisdom of that man?

[dansangel]

I haven't been by in all these years. Now that my daughter lives just outside of DC, I guess I'll have an excuse to be a tourist once agin!

[Dog Gone]

I had no idea those words were inscribed there! Don't tell the liberals!

[The Mayor]

We are supposed to be going to Virginia this summer.
The Baptist Church we attended is having their 250th Birthday party.
When we go I want to spend a couple days in D.C.
My sis in law live there so we have a place to stay.
I also want to see the Vietnam, Korean war, WW11 Memorials.
Plus everything else.

At one time all our politicans did think like Washington,
they all Loved and adored this country, it was built on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It can be there again!
