One day's entry from "In God We STILL Trust" by Dr. Richard G. Lee, a 365-day devotional. (Are you getting the picture that I am enjoying this book? Get ready for more entries in the days ahead!):
 
CHOOSING CHRIST OR CHAOS?
 
"Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's"
~ Mark 12:17
 
"Peter Marshall, the chaplain of the U.S. Senate (1947-1949), issued a call for Americans to honor God:
 
'The choice before us in plain:  Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise,
discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about
our rights and privileges as American citizens.
The time has come--it is now--when we ought to hear
about our duties and responsibilities of our citizenship.
America's future depends upon her accepting and
demonstrating God's government.'"
 
Patriot's Prayer:
 
"Father, enable me to know and then to do my civic duty. I pray that, first, I will make my home a sanctuary for my family members. Help me to also make my neighborhood a better place for those who are hurting, lonely, and needing help. Use my efforts, Lord, to help improve my city and my state."
 
Patriot's Promise:
 
"Read the amazing promise of Deuteronomy 28:1-2: 'Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.' God promises that if we make the right choices, if we live according to His Word, we will know blessing, not chaos."
