The righteous man walks in his integrity;
His children are blessed after him.
Proverbs 20:7

[Faith]

Lord God of our Fathers,

You have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. We are so grateful, Lord, that You have taught us of Your love and that we can pass on that love and teaching to our children and our children’s children. Your mercy is from everlasting to everlasting, and Your righteousness extends to the generations that follow us. Blessed are You, Lord God, for Your lovingkindness and Your grace.

As we celebrate the last holiday of the summer, we thank You, God, for work. We pray for all those who are out of work and who are struggling to provide for their families. Help us to place our reliance upon You, Father, and not upon government. Help us always to be confident in Your direction and provision. Lord, please lead our nation to return to the principles of hard work, freedom, and faith in You that have made our country great.

Be with our military men and women in all the duties they perform. Guard their lives and call them into a close and personal relationship with You. Lord, we know You remember their families and send people to help them as well. Reward them for their faithfulness to our nation.

Lord, there are wars and rumors of wars. Help us, Father. Defend us all, including Israel. Our need for You is great. We thank You that You care about us and that Your plan for our nation is still beautiful and true. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!



GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON
THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE
"Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod"

IN THE COLDEST and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered those prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His manifold benefits upon the new Nation.

FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who straggled into Valley Forge on 19 December 1777 arose, with the help of some gallant friends from across the waves, the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, global defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants.



AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high in that bleak Winter, let our prayers now rise like a fountain for our Heroes in the American Armed Forces who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and envelop them in the shelter of Your Healing Wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

HEAVENLY FATHER, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these valiant men and women who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the Freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your loving embrace, that You cause Your Countenance to shine upon them, and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Cupbearer To The King

September 2, 2013

One of my favorite Bible passages that applies to work is Nehemiah 1–2. King Artaxerxes’ employee Nehemiah had been such an exemplary worker that the king wanted to honor him by helping him when he was sad that Jerusalem was still in ruins. He asked Nehemiah, “Why is your face sad? . . . What do you request?” (2:2,4). He wasn’t just any worker for the king, he was the cupbearer, the man who tasted the king’s drink to protect him from being poisoned. In order to have earned such a position, he apparently worked hard and honored God in everything he did. And the king granted his requests.

God cares about the way we work. Colossians 3:23 tells us, “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.” We can follow Nehemiah’s example in these ways: Be such a competent and trusted worker that God is honored (Neh. 1:11–2:6). Care passionately about others and what’s important to them. Take action, occasionally even risky action, to honor what’s important to God and to fellow believers (2:3-6).

When we honor God in work, our employers may notice. But even if they don’t, our heart’s desire and purpose should be to honor the One we really serve—the Lord our God (Col. 3:17,23).

O Lord, may the way I serve tell Your story!
I want to bring You all the glory in my work,
at home, and everywhere I go. Fill me and use
me to bless others and honor You today.

God honors faith because faith honors God.

Read: Nehemiah 2:1-8

Why is your face sad? . . . What do you request? —Nehemiah 2:2,4

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 137-139; 1 Corinthians 13
