Today on the show we talked about how today is National Day of Prayer and we shared a devotional from Our Daily Bread! We heard from several different local pastors here in Knox County. Mike also shared a devotional from Our Daily Bread that is associated with how today is National Day of Prayer. And of course we had our weekly Name That Tune Trivia where one lucky person has a chance to win a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica.
The theme this year for National Day of Prayer is “Lift Up the Word, Light Up the World.” The theme verse this year is 2 Samuel 22:29-31, “For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God-His way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.” Mike shared about the encouragement of these verses and how God being a shield for us helps us to overcome the obstacles we face.
