Scripture Reading
Psalm 145:4
One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts.
Reflection
Faith is transmitted person to person, generation to generation — not through institutions alone but through the act of one person telling another what God has done. The chain of witness stretches back thousands of years and will reach into a future we cannot see. We are links in that chain, responsible to commend God's works to those coming behind us.
Prayer for Today
I thank you, Lord, that I live in the land of the free because of the brave. What freedom and privilege I enjoy each day without fear of persecution. Raise up God-fearing men and women to serve in state and local government. Promote those who are in right
standing with you. Appoint the righteous to represent your people. Holy Spirit, speak to the leaders of this country. Instruct our heads of state. May their will bend to the influence of the Holy Spirit. May they serve
with pure hearts and right motives. In Jesus' name, Amen.
