The first Thursday in May is the National Day of Prayer. I don't think it is too soon to begin thinking, planning and of course, praying for this critical day. Our country is at a crossroads. We must decide as Christians to put Jesus first. It doesn't mean we'll be perfect. It doesn't mean we won't get busy and "forget". It means we decide that by the grace of God and the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will live for Christ and Him crucified. It means we won't cheat on our taxes or our spouses or business partners. It means we will not put shopping or sports or camping or anything before worshiping the Lord with our brothers and sisters in Christ every Sunday. It means we will spend time absorbing, learning, studying and living out God's Holy Word. The alternative is a dry, lifeless relationship with the Lord that holds no excitement and no vitality. Is that what we want? Is that what Jesus died for?
