May Day Theme Verses
“But He took note of their distress
when He heard their cry;
for their sake He remembered His covenant
and out of His great love He relented.” -- Psalm 106:44, 45
Words from President Abraham Lincoln
“...We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! …It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.” —
from a proclamation appointing a National Fast Day that he issued in Washington D.C. on March 30, 1863 to be held exactly one month later on April 30th.visit mayday2010.org for more details.
31The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 104
