~ Wisdom for Today ~

“If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the Scriptures” (Daniel Webster).

“If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering; but if we neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity”  (Daniel Webster).

“Our Father and Our God, we praise You for Your goodness to our nation, giving us blessings far beyond what we deserve.  Yet we know all is not right with America.  Convict us of sin.  Help us to turn to You in repentance and faith.  Set our feet on the path of Your righteousness and peace.  We pray today for our nation's leaders.  Give them the wisdom to know what is right, and the courage to do it.  You have said, ‘Blessed is the nation whose God is Lord.’  May this be a new era for America, as we humble ourselves and acknowledge You alone as our Savior and Lord.  This we pray in Your holy name, Amen” (Billy Graham).
