A Devotion on Patriotic Music by Pastor Travis - Please do not forget to check out Pastor Freudenburg's Devotion on Romans 4 on Monday. By the way Francis Key Scott was referring to the Trinity in the hymn Star Spangled Banner in stanzas 2-4, Scott was Episcopalian. Also Francis Scott Smith who wrote "My Country Tis of Thee" was a Baptist Pastor. He too was referring to the Trinity in the hymn. So originally even without saying Trinity they meant Trinity, I just want people to recognize, you can't assume everyone means the same thing when they say, "God." The last hymn recorded was, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by James Weldon Johnson who was agnostic. However for an agnostic, he gave a great prayer to God. Please address it to the true God!:
Opening Hymn: “Come, Thou Almighty King” LSB 905
Introit Psalm 91:2, 9–10; antiphon: v. 1
P: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High C: will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
P: I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, C: my God, in whom I trust.”
P: Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— C: the Most High, who is my refuge—
P: no evil shall be allowed to befall you, C: no plague come near your tent. ALL: Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
P: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High C: will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Gracious God, our heavenly Father, Your mercy attends us all our days. Be our strength and support amid the wearisome changes of this world, and at life’s end grant us Your promised rest and the full joys of Your salvation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
OLD TESTAMENT READING Zechariah –9:9-12 9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. 10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the warhorses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken. He will proclaim peace to the nations. His rule will extend from sea to sea and from the River[a] to the ends of the earth. 11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit. 12 Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you. (NIV)
EPISTLE READING 14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[b] a slave to the law of sin. (NIV)
HOLY GOSPEL 25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. 27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”(NIV)
