1/21/13 Just hours ago President Barack Obama re-took the oath of office for President of the United States (publically) His wife Michelle held both Martin Luther King's Bible and Abraham Lincoln's Inauguration Bible as President Obama placed his hand atop them and swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Yesterday, He took this same oath with his hand on the Robinson family Bible. Joe Biden took his oath of office for vie-president with his hand on the Biden family Bible. Earlier today the Obama's attended services at St. John's Episcopal. I'm sure there are Bibles in the pews there as well. All of these Bibles would have 2 Chronicles 7:14. It's the verse I will pray today for our country, including a prayer for those 2 leaders to find that verse and use it for meditation as well.
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Seeking God in humility and prayer is worthy of meditation on this Inauguration Day.
