As the United States of America turns 231 years old today I want to pose the question Can God Bless America?
The United States of America was founded 231 years ago on strong Judeo-Christian principles. From our founding documents to our courts to the eventual printing of our currency, the reverence of God, in government, was everywhere.
The blessings we Americans have enjoyed have made us a shining beacon of freedom and prosperity. We live in a land where anyone regardless of race, gender, class or creed can rise to be anything they set their sights on.
America has turned away from reliance on God to self-sufficiency. It reminds me of when Israel turned from God and did “what was right in their own eyes”. Is it a coincidence that as we turn from God our economic prosperity, and with it, the world’s disappears?
America is also consistently abandoning Israel in favor of Palestine and other Arab countries. Remember in the Bible, God says to to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3) To be blessed by God, it is vitally important to stand with Abraham which are the Jews of today.
It’s not too late to turn back into the country that God wants to bless.
What can I do to make a difference today? Pray, pray, pray:
- Pray today and every day that the leaders of this country will turn from their own ways and seek God’s guidance in every decision they make.
- Pray that Godly men and women will step forward and run for public office and vote for them when you find them.
- Pray that our leaders will stand with the land of Israel.
Happy birthday, USA, have a happy July 4th weekend and may God, once again, bless America.
