Heaven's Rules
Think this one through and read it several times:
"Throughout his career, from soldier to president, [George Washington] made it a point of emphasizing that happiness or the blessings of heaven could not be expected on America's cause if Americans as a people choose to violate heaven's own rules." |
Today's Word from the Holy Bible
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Jesus said as quoted in Matthew 6:33 |

Today's Prayer
"Father God, have mercy on us, your children. We humble ourselves before you and cry out for mercy. We confess that we have neglected and forsaken your rules, forgive us. Touch our hearts and place in us a deeper desire to know you. Help us Lord to walk in your ways. Let us not be ashamed of acknowledging you in everything we do. Jesus said, My house shall be called the house of prayer. Lord let it be so, all across the United States of America.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen."
Today's prayer was written by: Margaret Richey is a conference speaker, a co-host of a television broadcast, and the Associate Pastor at the Gulf Coast Christian Center in Mobile, Alabama.
