"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?
Who has measured the Spirit of the LORD,
or what man shows him his counsel?
Whom did he consult, and who made him understand?
Who taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket,
and are accounted as the dust on the scales;
behold, he takes up the coastlands like fine dust."
(Isaiah 40:12-15 ESV)
Quotes, for this National Day of Prayer:
"God presides over the destinies of nations." (Patrick Henry, American Revolutionist)
"Remember that God is our only sure trust." (Mary Washington, George Washington's mother)
"While we give praise to God, the supreme disposer of all events, for His interposition on our behalf, let us guard against the dangerous error of trusting in, or boasting of, an arm of flesh... If your case is just, if your principles are pure, and if your conduct is prudent, you need not fear the multitude of opposing hosts." (John Witherspoon, signer of the Declaration of Independence)
"I pray Heaven bestow the best of blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof." (John Adams, 2nd U.S. President)
"Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for -- because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything." (Peter Marshall, former Chaplain of the U.S. Senate)
"America was founded by people who believed that God was their rock of safety. I recognize we must be cautious in claiming that God is on our side, but I think it's all right to keep asking if we're on His side." (Ronald Reagan, 40th U.S. President)
