God Bless Our Nation

God Bless Our Nation

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance."
Psalm 33:12

When I look at this scripture I think about the United States and how blessed we have been. We began as a Christian nation, as our forefathers fled to this country so that they could worship God in the manner they wished. Our constitution, our Declaration of Independence, and our Bill of Rights all mention God. We were born as a nation of God, and we have been blessed for it. God has used America to bless the world, as we have helped many nations during their times of disaster, when hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and famines have devastated their countries. I believe we have been the salt of the earth that has lived for God until the past 60 years, but we are losing our saltiness, as we are wandering away from God. There are tremendous needs in our nation today, but there are still tremendous Christians that need to awaken and carry the banner, to again bring us back to God. We must begin to stand boldly for God, and speak out against evil, and not compromise God's commands, to meet our own wants and desires. We must pray that people of God will begin to stand up and defend what our forefathers held so dear, and fought and gave their lives for. I know that my father gave his life to defend our freedom, and our rights to worship our God, and I don't want his sacrifice to be in vain. Each day when we arise we need to thank God for our nation, and our leaders, and pray that He will give them the wisdom to govern us in a godly manner, but most of all pray that we will keep our eyes focused on God, as He will bless us.
