SOME THOUGHTS FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY Here is a prayer recorded in the personal diary of George Washington, & in his own handwriting: "Let my heart, gracious God, be so affected with Your glory & majesty that I may ... discharge those weighty duties which thou requirest of me .... Again, I have called on thee for pardon & forgiveness of sins ... for the sacrifice of Jesus Christ offered on the cross for me. Thou gavest thy Son to die for me; & hast given me assurance of my salvation." Do you know what the tallest structure in Washington D.C. is? It is the Washington Monument. And by law, nothing taller than the Washington Monument can be built there. And do you know what is inscribed at the pinnacle of the Washington Monument? What is the admonition that is etched above all other edifices in our nation's capitol? These words from scripture: "Let God be praised." AMEN! |
