I found this book at Goodwill in 2007, Lincoln’s Devotional.
The newly-found book of daily Scriptural messages and inspirational verse in which Abraham Lincoln signed his name – a book he used and cherished, revealing a faith you can share.
This copy was copyrighted in 1957.
This book has short devotionals for every day of the year. February has devotionals called, ‘Believer’s Evidences’.
Here is #8
Confession of Christ
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:15
I’ll tell to all poor sinners round,
How great a Savior I have found;
I’ll point to his redeeming blood,
And say, “Behold the way to God.”
And one more
The True Believer;
The Believer the Object of Divine Love
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John iv. 9.
Pause, my soul, adore and wonder,
Ask, Oh, why such love to me?
Grace hath put me in the number
Of the Saviour’s family:
Hallelujah!
Thanks, eternal thanks to thee.
The photo above is a collage of two photos from the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. The statue of George Washington gets such great light reflection from the stained glass window during certain times of the day. I was happy to be able to capture it when we were there in May of 2011.
If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

So my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.
~Abraham Lincoln
If you hail from the United States of America, I wish you a Happy President’s Day from the State of Washington!

Happy President’s Day Ellen!
Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week!
….Ellen, have a fabulous day!
What a treasure you found at Goodwill.
Ellen, what a beautiful tribute to President’s Day! I enjoyed this post so much! Thank you for sharing with us.
Outstanding photos and words for Presidents Day. I remember the statue of Washington at the National Cathedral but was never there to see this wondrous sight.
Lucky you – what a gem found at a Goodwill store! Best wishes on this Presidents Day! 💖
Such a nice tribute for President’s Day.
I’m so amazed at your incredible memory. I would have no memory of what year I bought a book. Very impressive.
Happy President’s Day to you!
This was an excellent tribute Ellen to two of our great Presidents. They were good people as well as good leaders. I think “good-ness,” even just basic human decency, would be an excellent basis for anyone who still needs to decide on how to vote in this year’s Presidential election.
