This year, we've been studying American History and how our nation was founded. Back in September, our family was blessed to attend the Restoration Celebration at Montpelier and learn more James Madison's role in the writing of our Constitution.
We are most blessed to live in a such a historical area of our United States. Just recently, we watched the Adams Chronicles and gain some more insights to the Adams and their specific role in American History.
Along with reading about the pivotal men in our nation's early beginnings, we have read about some of the earlier First Ladies. We have gained a greater appreciation for their sacrifices. These were real people who paved the way for our freedoms we now enjoy.
Even Christine is aware of how our culture is literally trying to root God out of the fabric of our nation. It truly saddens her heart. Yet God will not be mocked and He is still in control. We must remember this truth.
So as we embark on a new chapter in our nation and President Obama takes the oath of office Tuesday, we as believers in Christ have a wonderful opportunity to intercede for him and for all our leaders in our nation.
We are reminded of the verse from 2 Chronicles 7:14,
If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
We as the body of Christ can unite in prayer, in humility and in repentance for our nation. Will you answer this call? Click here for this poignant reminder.
