“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”

We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth; break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises. ‘
Sing to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of a psalm,
with trumpets and the sound of a horn; shout joyfully before the Lord, the King.”
Psalm 98:4
We sing: This is the Day the Lord has Made
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it!
This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it!
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.

Strategic Focus for Wednesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
The Coming of the Lord of Hosts – Part 3
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:6-7
One of the distinctive marks of our most beloved and successful Presidents is the attribute of HUMILITY! Yesterday, we focused on our 1st President, George Washington, and saw how his modesty and humility caused people to trust him as our fledgling’s nation’s leader!
Today, we will look at our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, who also walked in humility, and was dependent on God for his decisions as our nation’s Commander in Chief. On one occasion, Lincoln said:
“I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.
My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day!”
Pray.
Now assigned to the pages of history, Lincoln continues to have a unique appeal for his fellow countrymen and also for people of other lands. This charm derives from his remarkable life story—the rise from humble origins, the dramatic death—and from his distinctively human and humane personality, as well as from his historical role as savior of the Union and emancipator of enslaved people.
His relevance endures and grows especially because of his eloquence as a spokesman for democracy. In his view, the Union was worth saving not only for its own sake but because it embodied an ideal, the ideal of self-government.
The saddest period of his childhood followed the death of his mother in 1818. As a ragged nine-year-old, he saw her buried in the forest, then faced a winter without the warmth of a mother’s love. Fortunately, before the onset of a second winter, Thomas Lincoln brought home from Kentucky a new wife for himself, a new mother for the children. Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln, a widow with two girls and a boy of her own, had energy and affection to spare. She ran the household with an even hand, treating both sets of children as if she had borne them all; but she became especially fond of Abraham, and he of her. He afterward referred to her as his “angel mother.” Pray.
Lincoln was fond of the Bible and knew it well. In one of his most famous speeches, he said: “A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe the government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.” He predicted that the country eventually would become “all one thing, or all the other.” Again and again, he insisted that the civil liberties of every U.S. citizen, white as well as Black, were at stake. The territories must be kept free, he further said, because “new free states” were “places for poor people to go and better their condition.” Pray.
Lincoln’s reputation began to grow while he was still alive.
- In the midst of the Civil War, the Washington Chronicle found a resemblance between him and George Washington in their “sure judgment,” “perfect balance of thoroughly sound faculties,” and “great calmness of temper, great firmness of purpose, supreme moral principle, and intense patriotism.”
- The Buffalo Express referred to his “remarkable moderation and freedom from passionate bitterness,” and then added, “We do not believe that Washington himself was less indifferent to the exercise of power for power’s sake.”
- An English newspaper, the Liverpool Post, suggested that “no leader in a great contest ever stood so little chance of being the subject of hero worship as Abraham Lincoln,” if one were to judge only by the way he looked. His long arms and legs, his grotesque figure, made him too easy to caricature and ridicule. “Yet,” this newspaper concluded, “a worshiper of human heroes might possibly travel a great deal farther and fare much worse for an idol than selecting this same lanky American.” His inner qualities—his faithfulness, honesty, resolution, insight, humor, and courage—would “go a long way to make up a hero,” whatever the man’s personal appearance. Pray.
“When any church will inscribe over its altar, as its sole qualification for membership, the Saviour’s condensed statement of the substance of both Law and Gospel, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor, as thyself,’ that church will I join with all my heart and all my soul.” Pray.
In his first message to Congress after the fall of Fort Sumter, he declared that the issue between North and South involved more than the future of the United States.
“It presents to the whole family of man, the question, whether a constitutional republic, or a democracy—
a government of the people, by the same people—
can, or cannot, maintain its territorial integrity, against its own domestic foes.”
Pray.
Psalm 35
1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
3 Also draw out the spear, and stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
Pray.
4 Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor Who seek after my life;
Let those be turned back and brought to confusion Who plot my hurt.
5 Let them be like chaff before the wind, and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, which they have dug without cause for my life.
8 Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, and let his net that he has hidden catch himself;
into that very destruction let him fall.
Pray.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord; it shall rejoice in His salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, “Lord, who is like You, Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?”
Pray.
11 Fierce witnesses rise up; they ask me things that I do not know.
12 They reward me evil for good, to the sorrow of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting;
and my prayer would return to my own [e]heart.
14 I paced about as though he were my friend or brother; I bowed down heavily, as one who mourns for his mother.
Pray.
15 But in my adversity they rejoiced and gathered together;
Attackers gathered against me, and I did not know it; they tore at me and did not cease;
16 With ungodly mockers at feasts they gnashed at me with their teeth.
Pray.
17 Lord, how long will You look on?
Rescue me from their destructions, my precious life from the lions.
18 I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
Pray.
19 Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies;
nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful matters against the quiet ones in the land.
21 They also opened their mouth wide against me, and said, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it.”
Pray.
22 This You have seen, O Lord; do not keep silence. O Lord, do not be far from me.
23 Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication, to my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, “Ah, so we would have it!”
Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up.”
Pray.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion who rejoice at my hurt;
Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who exalt themselves against me.
Pray.
27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause;
and let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness and of Your praise all the day long.
Pray.
We pray:
- Lord, we stand in awe of you, and are filled with gratitude as we consider the love and care You have continually poured out on our nation! Thank YOU! Pray.
