Rooted in Christian Truth

Psa 128:1-2, 4  “Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.   For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.” 
“Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.” 

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT

Right now our nation is sick unto death because we have forgotten God. But listen to this and let it burn into your soul. In 1821 John Quincy Adams, 6^th President of the United States, wrote:

The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity. From the day of the Declaration, the American people were bound by the laws of God.

Did you catch that? The principles of civil government and Christianity were linked together in an unbreakable bond. Nearly all citizens acknowledged Christian, biblical principles as the rules of their conduct.

In 1913 President Woodrow Wilson said, “America was born to exemplify the devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from Holy Scriptures.”

In March of 1931, Congress adopted “The Star-Spangled Banner” as our national anthem. Do you know what the fourth stanza says? Listen:

Blessed with victory and peace, may this Heaven-rescued land praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must when our cause it is just. And this be our motto, “In God is our trust.”

God blessed America because she was rooted in spiritual principles and truths.

ACTION POINT

Praise God that the Christian and Judaic heritage was written into our very fabric. And pray for your nation according to 2 Chronicles 7:14—“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ”
