Rely on God

Day 20 of 21 days of prayer and fasting.  What will you commit to fast today so as to focus on crying out to God for the spiritual broken condition of our nation? 
Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
That is has all to often been our fallback.  As Americans we trust in our abilities, our might, our power and authority.  My son Caleb serves in the US Airforce and I could not be any prouder of his accomplishments early in his career.  He has excelled and has been honored several times for his outstanding efforts.  In an interview with the base newspaper listen to his responses.

"Since arriving at McConnell and the fuels flight," said Master Sgt. Joseph Dudley, 22nd Logistic Readiness Squadron fuels management flight operations section chief, "Hubbard has continued to lead the way and do great things, standing out among his peers."
Who is the most positive influence in your life and why? My father is the most positive influence on my life. He has and always will be my hero. He is not only the ultimate example of an excellent dad, but a spiritual leader and wise guide. He has given me guidance and direction physically, mentally and spiritually through wisdom, advice and his own life. 
If you had the opportunity to meet anyone in the world, who would it be and why?I would like to meet the biblical Joshua and Caleb because they stood up for what they believed in with an unshakable faith and fortitude, even when their peers were willing to give up."

Now certainly the answer about my influence puffed me up, however his response to the last question made me the proudest. 
We are on this day praying for our militaries protection as they serve around the globe and praying that a spiritual awakening would change the perception of America in the world.  Instead of pushing filth and garbage via Hollywood, instead of being a mass producer of porn, instead of being a drug dependent culture, instead of relying on our might and strength may we once again rely on the Power of God!
