A NATION BLESSED BY GOD
Throughout the history of man Nation’s have risen and fell. I am thankful I am blessed to arise today in a country that is blessed by God that has been allowed to still stand.
As we celebrate another year of freedom on this July 4th may we remember what we have stood for and how God allowed us to still stand as a Nation with the freedoms we enjoy each day.
Our founding father’s knew and practiced the key that is necessary yet today for any nation to stand; “Remember the Lord thy God thy creator.”
Can you still quote the purpose of our nation as we sought God for direction for a new nation over 200 years ago?
Preamble
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Our father’s had a longing to have these freedoms and many gave their life for it. We still have men and women serving our nation today that put everything on the line to ensure you and I sustain this freedom. As you arise this morning would you join me in thanksgiving, praise, and prayer for those who are serving us throughout the world? Many are in harms way and some will give their life for the blessings you enjoy this day.
I pray our nation will take time to remember the Lord God our creator. It doesn’t matter how great a nation becomes a nation that forgets God will fall. Psalms 33:12a “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord…” There are many examples in the Bible of the rise and fall of nations. No nation is exempt from the laws of God. When a nation forgets God they will lose God’s favor and blessings. When a nation returns to God they will find favor from a merciful God. I pray as a nation we remember these accounts and seek the Lord our God while we may find him. The Psalmist says in Psalm 100:3 “… it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves.”
I will close with a call to praise the Lord with Psalm 100 which is a psalm of praise.
“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
All nations and all people are precious in the sight of God, regardless of the birth date of your nation remember the Lord thy God thy creator and be blessed of Him as you worship him each day.
1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
