The Great American State Fair on the Washington Mall is continuing the America 250 Celebration through July 10th. Today’s theme is Heritage and Legacy.

The exposition and modern-day World’s Fair, which President Trump kicked off with a rally on June 24th, is celebrating the people, traditions, innovations, and spirit that have built the United States and made it unique. The fair features a 110-foot Ferris wheel and daily rodeo performances. There are over 150 exhibits in pavilions from all 50 states and 6 territories, as well as showcases by businesses, innovators, and civic organizations.
President Trump also announced the reopening of Freedom Plaza, featuring the Spirit of ’76 exhibit honoring Revolutionary War “heroes and martyrs.” The president said, “The Exhibition is anchored by a central bronze statue, ‘Spirit of Liberty,’ which is crowned in a wreath of victory, and powerfully wielding the Declaration of Independence and a sword pointed to the sky.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For President Trump as he encourages Americans to continue the celebration of the U.S. 250th anniversary.
- For the president and members of his Cabinet to seek God’s wisdom as they set policies and make decisions regarding national and international events.
- For the Lord to be magnified and glorified in the commemorations of America’s semiquincentennial.

- The Great “I AM”
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. – Jeremiah 29:12
Members of the World Economic Forum have had lofty goals to “build a new social contract that honors the dignity of every human being.” During the COVID-19 pandemic, their website stated, “As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models, and the management of a global commons.” They are not alone in their intentions, as social justice warriors and socialists also seek to alter or even upend societal workings and interactions.
These humanists forget that “the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; the world and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). As sin had overtaken the world and people had become accustomed to their ways of dealing with it, God conducted His own “social upheaval,“ first through the ministry and message of His Son, then providing salvation to all of humankind through the shed blood of Jesus Christ at Calvary. Today’s verse is a reminder that God is near and He answers those who call upon Him. His love never fails.
Pray for those at the highest levels of America’s government to recognize their need for the Savior and to petition God as they make their plans. Intercede for a shift in their hearts, so they learn to call upon the Lord in prayer and receive His answers.
Today’s Verse: Jeremiah 29:12
Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.

13 I gave you a land on which you had not labored and cities that you had not built, and you dwell in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.’
14 “Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”All Scripture quotations and audio are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
