WOW! Look at today's devotional reading from the 2001 book by Norman Vincent Peale "Positive Thinking For Every Day of the Year"! I've used this book over the years and am using this book daily again this year. DJT used to attend Peale's sermons at Marble Collegiate Church in NYC and often references NVP and even quotes him in his books. He even mentions in one book that his dad was a friend of NVP! Peale's message is in the middle, followed by his prayer for today……the day that DJT wants us to pray! There are no coincidences!
March 15
"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy." Leviticus 19:1-2
Think what might be accomplished in the United States if only a few of the best young people among us would have the revolutionary spirit their forefathers had and would determine, "This great fair land shall not be destroyed. We'll make it clean, so that high leadership for the future may be certain and sure."
"Well," you may think, "I'm not a young person." Maybe not; but if all the men and women in this country who profess belief in God would live clean lives and would set those lives against the decay of our time, they would be contributing to a moral revolution. I believe the time has come for greatness. That is what built this country's splendor, power and prestige. That is the only force that can hold it's future secure. So get into the fight against evil. "Some people accepted Him and put their faith in Him so He gave them the right to be children of God". That's the difference between a little life and a tremendous life.
Prayer: Our Heavenly Father, help us to know that Jesus walks the thronging streets of our world. Help us to be true to Him and to follow Him to remake this world according to Your will. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
