Melva's Stories from the Heart

Tuesday, January 20, 2009, our 44th president of the United States was sworn in before more than a million people. It was quite an historic event as he is the first African-American to be our president. I do not agree with his agenda on many points but I pledge to pray that the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him - the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. I pray He will delight in obeying the Lord. That He will never judge by appearance, false evidence, or hearsay. That he will defend the poor and the exploited. I pray that he will rule against the wicked and that he will be clothed with fairness and truth (Isaiah 11:2-5 NLT).
