Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalm 67:4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples with equity and guide the nations of the earth.
Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance
Today is a day we focus on patriotism for our own great nation. I am happy and blessed to be an American. I may not like everything about our country but I can’t think of another nation on earth that I would ever love better than this one. Our country is what we make it. If we tolarate injustice and political dishonesty our nation will suffer. If we hold to our moral values and insist that our leaders do the same, our country will prosper. I am of the camp that believes we were founded as a Christian nation but one that recognized the need for religious tolerance. While we are now a nation of Christians and non-Christians, I believe we as individuals should pursue witnessing to the Word to others. After all one of the great freedoms of our country, a freedom many fought and died for among others is the freedom of religious expression. Let us continue to take advantage of this.
Creator of all nations, we pray your blessings upon our country. May our country serve as an example of justice and freedom from oppression to all the nations of the world. Bless us individually as Americans and as Christians so that we, too may do the same. In Jesus’ name we humbly ask this. Amen.
