One Nation Under God

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Psalm 33:12 Has there ever been a nation as blessed by God as the United States? Historians and pastors may argue about the intentions and beliefs of our founding fathers, but one thing is certain: God has blessed us with incredible wealth, freedom, and protection throughout our history. The question we must consider (if we want to continue to receive God’s blessing) is, what are we doing with it? Far too often, we enjoy the benefits of God’s blessings by spending them on today instead of investing them in the future. In biblical history, God blessed Israel so that they would be a blessing to the nations of the world. When Israel welcomed foreigners and supported the widows and orphans, God continued to shower them with riches and freedom. We can be sure of this: God always leads the rich to help the poor, directs the free to reach out to the oppressed, and empowers the wise to give hope to those who are confused. We have phenomenal riches in the country, riches that come from the hand of God. We need to recognize the source of all our blessings and commit ourselves to use every resource to make a difference for Christ’s sake. What are some blessings that we enjoy that other nations don’t? What are some specific ways you can invest your resources and freedoms to make a difference in others’ lives? I’d love to talk to you personally.
