Belt of Truth for the Nation Part 1

D-Day
ON THIS DAY: As word spread of the Allied invasion of Europe on D-Day, Americans were overcome with thoughts of their boys storming the beaches of Normandy. Franklin Roosevelt announced he would address the nation by radio; but on that evening, he didn’t give a speech. He offered a prayer.
In one of the most moving addresses to pass over the lips of an American president, FDR simply prayed. He prayed earnestly and eloquently. He prayed like a pastor leading his flock through stress and sacrifice. He prayed boldly, ending his prayer by emphasizing the words: “Thy will be done, Almighty God.” Never before or since have so many tears dripped from so many eyes as that evening when a nation joined its president in prayer.
He prayed for the allied forces. He prayed for resiliency and determination and eventual victory. He prayed for those soldiers who would not return. He said, Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.” He prayed for those at home: “And for us at home—fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of these brave men overseas—whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them—help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.”
Roosevelt brought his prayer to a conclusion by asking God to bring peace to the world and a unity among nations that would sustain that peace and allow people everywhere to live in freedom. He ended his prayer with the words of Jesus. “Thy will be done, Almighty God. Amen.”

Noah Webster
On this day, June 4, 1800, Noah Webster announced he was completing a "Dictionary of the American Language.”
Webster worked at a round table in his second-floor study from sunrise until four in the afternoon, usually standing while reading and writing, using a quill pen and pad, and surrounded by reference works. But the mental strain, financial worries, and constant criticism nearly broke him. That is, until he came to faith in Jesus Christ.
Rev. Moses Stuart, a local pastor, was a powerful preacher during the Second Great Awakening, and Webster’s teenage daughters were converted under his preaching. Webster, disturbed, requested a meeting with Stuart.
For several weeks, Webster struggled with the gospel message, but one morning in April 1808, he said, “I instantly fell to my knees and confessed my sins to God, implored His pardon and made my vows to Him.” Calling his family, Webster announced his decision to follow Christ, and his inner turmoil ceased. “From that time,” he said, “I have had a perfect tranquility of mind.”
When his brother criticized him for “religious enthusiasm,” Webster replied in a letter, which later became one of America’s premier apologetic pamphlets. He recalled that when the apostle Paul was accused by King Agrippa of going insane because of his extreme intelligence, Paul had replied, “I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason” (Acts 26:24). Webster wrote: These sentiments may perhaps expose me to the charge of enthusiasm. Of this I cannot complain, when I read in the Gospel that the apostles, when they first preached Christ crucified, were accused of being full of new wine; when Paul was charged by Felix with being a madman; and when Christ Himself was charged with performing miracles through the influence of evil spirits. If, therefore, I am accused of enthusiasm, I am not ashamed of the imputation. It is my earnest desire to cherish evangelical doctrines and no other . . . for nothing is uniform but truth; nothing unchangeable but God and His works. . . . To reject the Scriptures as forgeries is to undermine the foundation of all history; for no books of the historical kind stand on a firmer basis than the Sacred Books.
Noah Webster published his dictionary in 1828, defining more than sixty-five thousand words, shaping American English for the lifetime of the nation, and making Webster a household name that has spanned the centuries.
Many secular critics accuse Christians of inferior intelligence and faulty reasoning; they think Christianity is untrue. But the evidence for the truthfulness of the Christian faith is greater than they realize, and it’s as true today as in the days of Noah Webster: no other books in history can compare to the reliability and life-changing power of God’s Word, the Bible.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
When she was a young teenager, Harriet Beecher Stowe, made the greatest decision of her life. Her father, Rev. Lyman Beecher, preached from John 15:15 about Jesus as our friend. Harriet later said, “I sat intent and absorbed. Oh! how much I needed just such a friend. . . . Like a flash it came over me . . . I would trust Him . . . As I left the church to walk home, it seemed to me as if Nature herself were hushing her breath to hear the music of heaven.”
In 1832, Harriet, twenty-one, moved to Cincinnati and married a seminary professor, Calvin Ellis Stowe, and the two became involved in aiding fugitive slaves escaping from Kentucky. Harriet also began writing, and her devotional materials, Bible studies, and fiction became popular throughout the nation.
When family friend, newspaper publisher Elijah Lovejoy, was murdered for his abolitionist views, the Beecher family reacted in horror. Harriet’s brother, Edward, wrote her, saying, “Now, Hattie, if I could use a pen as you can, I would write something that would make this whole nation feel what an accursed thing slavery is.” Reading the letter, Harriet said, “I will write something. I will if I live.”
Shortly afterward, as she attended a communion service at church, scenes for a book unfolded in her mind. Returning home, she began working on Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
On this day, On June 5, 1851, the first segment of her book was published in the National Era as part of a forty-week serial. The story seized the nation’s heart, and Harriet credited its success to the Lord. “I was but the humblest of instruments in His hand,” she said. “To Him alone should be given all the praise.” On March 13, 1852, a Boston publisher turned the serial into a book.
In its first year, three hundred thousand copies were sold in America and over a million copies in Great Britain. People stayed up all night reading the story, and Harriet became “the most talked-of woman in the world.” Uncle Tom’s Cabin became the best-selling book of the century, apart from the Bible, and inflamed the nation against slavery.
