Wig’s Word of God Today 5-5-2011
But Peter and the Apostles said in reply, “We must obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:29
Whoever does accept His testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. John 3:33
Acts 5:27-33, Psalm 34 & John 3:31-36
Today the United States of America celebrates it 60th Anniversary of a National Day of Prayer established by Congress in 1952 and has been officially observed by every president since, well until now. The National Day of Prayer actually began back in 1775 within the Continental Congress, which annually designated a day of prayer before we became a nation. Congress officially enacted this into law in 1952 and the law was challenged recently by the Freedom from Religion Foundation which lost in its attempt to exclude our national heritage of being thankful publically to our great and all powerful God. Since the beginning time and especially since Christ’s life, death and resurrection, mankind has recognized the need to pray to our God and be thankful, seek counsel and live according to His Decrees. The Apostle Peter said it best in Acts 5:29 today, “”We must obey God rather than men.”
Prayer is what this nation was built on and what people of faith do each and every day to allow our anxiety’s of job, family and life to be shouldered by Jesus Christ Himself. I believe in the Power of Prayer and I respectfully seek His guidance each day for my own life as well as hundreds of others I pray for each and every morning as I write. Yesterday, a young man I met at a prayer gathering sent me a message expressing his gratitude for the prayers I sent out for his family and him finding a new job. I asked everyone to pray for him to find work and he was offered a job just a few short days after we met and he is always thanking God for it. Jesus tells us in John 3:36 today that the only way to the Father is through Himself and God’s wrath remains on those who choose to follow their own way. “Whoever believes in the Son has Eternal Life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” When we love our love of Christ Jesus, we pray over everything, anytime and anywhere with anyone who seeks prayer to accomplish the Will of God for faith, charity and love. Amen.
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we today for strength to have the courage to pray to You anywhere we are to be thankful for Your Son’s Truth to guide us each and every day. We pray today for Andrew DeWitt and his new job, his beautiful wife and baby and his continued strength in life by Your Son’s Word. We pray also for Augie Silva for healing and peace. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless,

The waves of my joy
The tears of my heart
Embellish my soul
Forever embarked

Pray to be thankful
Pray to be true
Pray to know Jesus
Pray to be new
