Pledge of Allegiance of the United States

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Today it reads:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

DAY 15 - DAILY DEVOTION - JUNE 8, 2012

JUNE 8



Infusion not Confusion


Back several years ago, I went to a doctor who did vitamin infusions to build up my immune system. A vitamin infusion is an IV of vitamins that go directly into your blood stream versus having to swallow a vitamin.  It’s much faster and more effective for your body to absorb.


As I was preparing for this devotional, The Lord reminded me of those vitamin infusions.  He urged me to tell you about how much He wants you healthy and whole: Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit.  He said, “Tell my people, I love them and want only the best for them.  No more confusion-I will give them clear direction and wisdom.  And, when they hurt, I hurt.  We are in this world, but not of it.  Take joy in knowing that I have overcome the world and receive my Peace.  Peace that passes all understanding.”


Will you join me in letting go of anger, bad relationships, and un-forgiveness.  Allow the Holy Spirit to come in and take control.  Let the Holy Spirit do His job in filling you with Love, Joy, Peace, and a Sound mind.


I believe when we purpose in our hearts not to do anything else before getting our routine Holy Spirit infusion, then we are ready to do what He’s called us to do in our specific journeys in life.   And, because we’ve released all the things that tried to hinder or stop us, now, things you were going to have to go through, some how God turns it around or moves it away.   Psalm 37:23 “The steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord.”  He will take you places you never knew you could go because He has anointed you for such a time and journey as this!


I pray for a Fresh In-Filling and a New Anointing from the Holy Spirit!  Fill them up Lord, Fill them up to overflowing in Jesus Name!
