As more nations slide into recession and our own economy slumps deeper it's good to remember our foundation is a God who loves us - who is love. Here is the context of that part of Scripture our new President quoted in his inauguration speech.

"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me."  1 Corinthians 13:8-11 

Abraham Lincoln's words have inspired many, including it seems our new President. Let's pray that each of us and President Obama take this quotation to heart... "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day." Abraham Lincoln.
