Inaugural Passages: God's Protection In Times of Trouble

After spending four years out of office, his party once again turned to Grover Cleveland to be their standard bearer for 1892. When inauguration day came around on Saturday, March 4, 1893, in Washington, D.C. a light snow fell on the nation’s capital as Americans inaugurated the 24th president of the United States. He was familiar to the nation as he had the job before. Grover Cleveland took the oath of office administered by Chief Justice Melville Fuller and became the first, and until Donald Trump, the only US president to serve two non-consecutive terms. Inaugurated with Cleveland and serving a term as vice president was Illinois own Adlai Stevenson.

For this inauguration, the Bible was open to Psalms 91:12-16. I was unable to determine if that was a random opening or deliberately selected. My best guess is that it was random.

Thank you for watching. If you would like to know more about God’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ and how to become a Christian as the New Testament teaches, contact a church of Christ in your area or email me at 2 Timothy 4.2dot3ATgmail.com
