National day of Prayer
Finally tonight: the National Day of Prayer and why an entire nation focused
today on talking to God might be better off listening.
A nation listening to God might have less profanity and nudity in it's prime
time television programs. It might reduce the average of ten thousand acts of
television violence watched annually by each of its children. It might remove the
rape scenes filmed for one of every eight Hollywood movies. It might cancel The
Bachelor.
A nation listening to God might not consume billions in drugs, pornography and
alcohol while throwing billions more away at casinos, racetracks and lottery
machines.
A nation listening to God might care for its elderly, feed its poor and protect
its children.
The Bible promises that God rewards those that diligently seek Him. This nation
should try it while closing our mouths and opening our ears.
