TRAFFIC -( Sometimes I Feel So) UninspiredALBUM Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory (1973)
Topic: “Secret Day"
To be honest I am focused on inspiring others at this point in my life.
1. By God's grace I am equally yoked to my darling wife who is my sister-in-Christ and the love of my life.
2. Every human being shares much in common with many and yet we are unique in our experiences; hopes, dreams, and fears; rewards and punishments; and growth in maturity.
3. I have long focused on what is unique to me [or so I thought] embodied in Duty, Honor, Country from my alma mater, USMA, West Point.
4. Long ago I learned to appreciate the unique to human capability to learn vicariously by reading.
a. By God's grace the Bible is the source of knowledge and wisdom.
b. We can learn about the apparent successes and failures of Biblical figures. Since the Word of God is living, the lessons in scripture have application to each generation including our own
Quotes:
1. Brian Tracy 'Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me'
2. Rylan Derrick Happiness is a byproduct of helping others. No man ever finds happiness by thinking of himself.
3. Simon Sinek 'Leaders volunteer to go first into danger. Their willingness to sacrifice for us is the reason we're inspired to follow.'
4. Martin Luther King, Jr. 'A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.'
5. Ronald Reagan 'The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.'
6. John Stott 'The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love, not force but example, not coercion but reasoned persuasion.
7. Israelmore Ayivor 'Lift up the weak; inspire the ignorant. Rescue the failures; encourage the deprived! Live to give. Don't only hustle for survival. Go, and settle for revival!'
8. J.K. Rowling quote 'We're all human aren't we. Every human life is worth the same and worth saving.'
9. Ronald Reagan 'The real question today is not when human life begins, but what is the value of human life? The abortionist who reassembles the arms and legs of a tiny baby to make sure all its parts have been torn from its mother's body can hardly doubt whether it is a human being. The real question for him and for all of us is whether that tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law - the same right we have.'
10 .Charles Colson 'A government cannot be truly just without affirming the intrinsic value of human life.'
Scriptures
a. Titus 1:15-16 ESV 'To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works.
b. Philippians 2:1-4 ESV 'So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
c. Hebrews 4:16 ESV 'let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.'
d. Matthew 7:12-14 ESV So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
e. John 14:26-88 ESV But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
f. Isaiah 41:5-7 ESV The coastlands have seen and are afraid; The ends of the earth tremble; They have drawn near and have come. Each one helps his neighbor And says to his brother, “Be strong!” So the craftsman encourages the smelter, And he who smooths metal with the hammer encourages him who beats the anvil, Saying of the soldering, “It is good”; And he fastens it with nails, So that it will not totter.

I pray for alertness, discernment and the fruit of the Spirit faithfulness and self-control for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer or hears it dear LORD. By YOUR grace, YOU prepare us for future challenges by leading us through circumstances that test our mettle. YOU desire us to fully trust YOU and YOU bless each of us who place our full trust in you. 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.' [Psalm 23:4 ESV]
LORD, I pray that YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are elected or appointed officials understand their purpose implicitly. I pray they demonstrate love across the aisle to their fellow brothers and sister-in-Christ. Let YOUR light shine on fellowship and inspire others to be respectful to those they disagree with. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. [Mathew 5:16 ESV]
lift each deployed service member missing in action and their family members to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU bless the family members of MIA with a large measure of peace and joy as they wait for news about their MIA loved one and closure. Enable them to lean on YOU as they grieve while waiting for a knock on the door. I pray that YOU guide those searching for remains to remains of MIA to find, identify and recover the remains and effects in YOUR perfect timing. ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.’ [Romans 12:15-16 ESV]
LORD, I lift up the most vulnerable in society to YOU including preborn children, disabled children especially those labeled as autistic and the ministries which help these people and those who care for them. including pregnant mothers-to-be. I pray that YOU motivate compassionate counselors with patience to listen and hear to speak respectfully to the pregnant women and girls. Help them to understand the value of human life and to place their trust in YOU. 'For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.' [Psalm 139:13-16 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members are sleeping well Friday night and each will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
