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 27 - DAILY PRAYER (NO IDOLS BEFORE YOU) - JUNE 20, 2013

June 20


Not unto us, O Lord of Heav’n,

But unto Thee be glory given;

In love and truth Thou dost fulfill

The counsels of Thy sovereign will;



Though nations fail Thy pow’r to own,

Yet Thou dost reign, and Thou alone.

The idol gods of heathen lands

Are but the work of human hands;



They cannot see, they cannot speak,

Their ears are deaf, their hands are weak;

Like them shall be all those who hold

To gods of silver and of gold.



Let Israel trust in God alone,

The Lord Whose grace and pow’r are known;

To Him your full allegiance yield,

And He will be your Help and Shield;



All those who fear Him God will bless,

His saints have proved His faithfulness.
