Lord, we pray that You will appoint over our nation leaders who will govern in righteousness, in the fear of God. We ask this for the sake of all our people, including our military that they may be led with wisdom.
O God, You are like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth. Are we not right with You? You have made with us an everlasting covenant, arranged and secured in every part a covenant of peace and forgiveness and unfailing love, the new covenant in Christs blood. You will bring to fruition our salvation and grant us our every desire. We praise You for this, in the Name of Jesus Christ the Rock of Israel, the Rock of our salvation Amen.
Come and pray.
During his only inaugural address as the US President, John F. Kennedy issued this challenge to Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. It was a renewed call for citizens to surrender their lives in sacrifice and service to others. His words especially inspired the sons and daughters of men and women who had served their country in war.
His meaning was clear: What their parents purchased, often with their very lives, must now be protected by peaceful means. An army of volunteers arose to answer that call, and through the decades they have accomplished an immeasurable amount of humanitarian work around the globe.
Centuries earlier, the apostle Paul issued a similar call to Christians in the opening verses of Romans 12. Here he urges us to give our bodies as living sacrifices in service to the One who paid with His life for our sins. This spiritual sacrifice must be more than mere words; it must be an investment of our lives in the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of others.
Best of all, our serving can be done right where we are.
INSIGHT
: In Romans 12:1 Paul encourages us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to God by exhibiting behavior that is pleasing to Him. However, verse 2 encourages us to have our minds renewed as well. God wants us to be totally His in both actions and thoughts.
Wow! Beautiful Scripture!
Praying with you, Dear Irish Rose!
Please pray for former Marine SSgt Charlie Linville who was on Mt Everest. Last interviews were on the 16th. I’m still searching for updates...
