DAY 4 - DAILY PRAYER (OUR FATHER) - MAY 28, 2012

May 28



WARREN G. HARDING, NOV. 11, 1921, BURYING AN
UNKNOWN SOLDIER IN ARLINGTON CEMETERY:






In the death gloom of gas, the bursting of shells and rain of bullets, men face more intimately the great God over all...I can sense the prayers of our people, of all peoples, that this Armistice Day shall mark the beginning of a new and lasting era of peace on earth, good will among men. Let me join in that prayer.


Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever Amen.

DAY 4 - DAILY HISTORY - AMERICAN MINUTE FOR MAY 28, 2012

He left Yale for four years to fight in the Revolutionary War. 


After graduation, he became a lawyer and taught school in New York. 


Dissatisfied with the children's spelling books, he wrote the famous Blue-Backed Speller, which sold over one hundred million copies. 


After twenty-six years of work, he published the first American Dictionary of the English Language. 


His name was Noah Webster, and he died MAY 28, 1843. 


In his 1788 essay, "On the Education of Youth in America," printed in Webster's American Magazine, Noah Webster wrote: 


"Select passages of Scripture...may be read in schools, to great advantage. In some countries the common people are not permitted to read the Bible at all. In ours, it is as common as a newspaper and in schools is read with nearly the same degree of respect."


Noah Webster continued: 


"My wish is not to see the Bible excluded from schools but to see it used as a system of religion and morality." 


In his History of the United States, 1832, Noah Webster wrote: 


"The brief exposition of the Constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government...


The genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion." 


Noah Webster continued in The History of the United States, 1832: 


"All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."

DAY 3 - DAILY DEVOTION - MAY 27, 2012

It Is Finished - John 19:30

Because of the Passion of Jesus Christ - It Is Finished,  Because He didn’t plead his case or justify the accusations against Him - It Is Finished, Because He bled & died in great agony - It Is Finished, Because of His nail scarred hands that bought our forgiveness - It Is Finished, Because of the spikes of steel that held him there, until His last breath when He said, It Is Finished!

And, because IT IS FINISHED-

Your sins are forgiven

You are healed of all your diseases

You are redeemed

You are crowned with love & compassion

You are satisfied with good things

Your youth is renewed like the eagle (Psalm 103:1-5)

Death, Hell & The Grave Have Been Defeated! He’s Alive!!  He Has Risen from the dead! IT IS FINISHED!

Thank you Lord for laying your life down for us.   We will never forget the price that you paid, you took the fall for us!  You were the ultimate sacrifice- Holy & Righteous!  It’s your blood that frees us!  I WILL Worship & say- IT IS FINISHED!

We have a reason to celebrate His Resurrection Power - there is life & liberty in Jesus, because IT IS FINISHED!

DAY 3 - DAILY PRAYER (FORGIVENESS) - MAY 27, 2012

May 27



Dear Precious Lord,

We, your people, love you! We are honored to be called your children. We acknowledge our sins against you. We desire to be forgiven as your people and our nation cleansed from our sin of rebelling against you.

We understand your ways are not our ways, and apart from you and your Holy Spirit, we can, and will return to the sinful ways of man.

For your great name’s sake-Rescue America; and its people, one more time! Return your fire to the pulpits, return your fire to the homes, and return your fire to the towns and villages! And, oh God! Give us righteous leaders to rule over us!

It’s in Jesus’ name that I pray!
Amen.

DAY 3 - DAILY HISTORY - MAY 27, 2012

    Twentieth-Century Fox made a motion picture in 1955 titled A Man Called Peter, about the life of U.S. Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall, born MAY 27, 1902. 


At the age of 25, Peter Marshall emigrated from Scotland, arriving at New York's Ellis Island in 1927. Members of his Sunday school class paid his way to seminary in Atlanta, where he graduated in 1931.


Peter Marshall pastored a small church in Covington, Georgia, then preached at Atlanta's Westminster Presbyterian Church.


There he met Catherine Wood, a student at Agnes Scott College, and they married.


In 1937, at the age of 35, he became pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. His services were attended by leaders, such as President Franklin D. Roosevelt.


In 1938, Peter Marshall became a U.S. citizen.


Catherine Marshall's book on Peter's life, A Man Called Peter, was turned into the movie by the same title. Her novel, Christy, was made into a CBS television series. 


Peter Marshall stated:


"The world has enough women who are popular. It needs more who are pure. We need women, and men, too, who would rather be morally right than socially correct.”


Peter and Catherine's son, Peter Marshall, Jr., wrote with co-author David Manuel numerous best-selling books chronicling the Providential expansion of liberty throughout American history, such as: The Light and the Glory; From Sea to Shining Sea; and Sounding Forth The Trumpet. 


On January 4, 1947 the Senate appointed Peter Marshall to be their U.S. Senate Chaplain. He prayed: 


"O Lord our God, even at this moment as we come blundering into Thy presence in prayer, we are haunted by memories of duties unperformed, promptings disobeyed, and beckonings ignored. Opportunities to be kind knocked on the door of our hearts and went weeping away."


On January 13, 1947, U.S. Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall stated: 


"The choice before us is plain: Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights...The time is come to hear about responsibilities...


America's future depends upon her accepting and demonstrating God's government." 


On May 22, 1947, during the 80th Congress, Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall offered the prayer:


"God of our fathers, give unto us, thy servants, a true appreciation of our heritage, of great men and great deeds in the past, but let us not be intimidated by feelings of our own inadequacies for this troubled hour. 


Remind us that the God they worshiped, and by whose help they laid the foundations of our Nation, is still able to help us uphold what they bequeathed and give it meaning."


On July 3, 1947, the day before Independence Day, Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall prayed: 


"God of our Fathers, whose Almighty hand hath made and preserved our Nation, grant that our people may understand what it is they celebrate tomorrow. 


May they remember how bitterly our freedom was won, the down payment that was made for it, the installments that have been made since this Republic was born, and the price that must be paid for our liberty. 


May freedom be seen not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to please to do what is right. May it be ever understood that our liberty is under God and can be found nowhere else. May our faith be something that is not merely stamped upon our coins, but expressed in our lives. 


Let us, as a nation, be not afraid of standing alone for the rights of men, since we were born that way, as the only nation on earth that came into being 'for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.' We know that we shall be true to the Pilgrim dream when we are true to the God they worshiped. 


To the extent that America honors Thee, wilt Thou bless America, and keep her true as Thou hast kept her free, and make her good as Thou hast made her rich. Amen."


Peter Marshall died of a heart attack in 1949 at the age of 45.


Just 6 months before he died, June 11, 1948, Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall opened Congress with the prayer:


"Help us, our Father, to show other nations an America to imitate...the America that loves fair play, honest dealing, straight talk, real freedom and faith in God."

Marshall, Peter. July 3, 1947, in a prayer before the 80th Congress. Catherine Marshall, ed., The Prayers of Peter Marshall (NY: McGraw Hill Book Co., Inc., 1949), p. 186. Robert Flood, The Rebirth of America (The Arthur S. DeMoss Foundation, 1986), back cover.
