Felices Fiestas Patrias!

Today & tomorrow are Independence Days here in Peru. Both days are national holidays. The celebrations are called "Fiestas Patrias" locally, & everyone in Peru goes around & greets each other by saying, "Felices Fiestas Patrias!" It's kind of like celebrating July 4 in the USA - but over two days!

The first part of Psalm 33:12 (NIV) says, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ...." While the author of Psalm 33, be it David or someone else, is specifically referencing Israel here, the verse nonetheless serves as an important spiritual guideline for divine blessing for any country around the world.

What are you doing today, in the country where you are ministering, to ensure that your nation is a blessed nation whose God is the Lord?
