If ever our nation needed to seek God, it is now. We have experienced growing numbers of unemployment, severe weather affecting the lives of many, increased prices for gasoline and food and wickedness seems to be spreading like wildfire.
I am one of the coordinators for the National Day of Prayer in Brown County Ohio and our task force has spent the past five months working to promote the events we have planned for today. Our main objective is to glorify God Almighty in Brown County.
We have selected people who have a heart for prayer to pray for the seven centers of power within our nation. The centers of power include: families, churches, the government, the military, the media, area businesses and schools. These are the centers which make our nation strong. Having Christians working within these centers of power is vital if we are to remain a Christian nation.
As I write this blog today, there are hundreds gathered in our nation's capitol seeking God's direction and guidance for our country. It is indeed a privilege and an honor to call upon God.
The theme for this year is taken from Psalm 91:2–"I will say to the Lord, 'my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust'."
Holy God, We praise You today and recognize You as our creator, our refuge and our fortress. Your word says that You will never leave us nor forsake us and we are standing on the promises of Your word today. Amen
One of the highlights of our observance in Brown County is a simultaneous Bible reading. All those in attendance bring their Bibles and chairs and sit in the street in front of the county courthouse. At a specific time, everyone will open their Bibles and read scripture out loud–all at the same time. The entire Bible will be read by 350 people in 15 minutes. It is a moving experience and I know that it is pleasing to God's ears to hear His word read by all those present.
