Today we celebrate the blessed founding of the united States of America. When those 56 men signed the Declaration of Independence they had no idea what would become of it. They were not a mighty nation, (weren’t a nation at all!) had no national army or navy, and were going against the greatest power of the world.
But God was with them. They looked to Him and His Word for guidance, and they not only won their Independence, but went on to found a Federal Republic based on biblical principles of government bringing such liberty as the world had never known. We have so much to be grateful for as the first Christian Constitutional Federal Republic.
Today we see those liberties being eroded away, as our nation turns it’s back on God who established her, His Word that gave them direction, and our Constitution that framed our great nation. Today we beg again that God’s people would humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways; that God would hear, forgive our sin and heal our land.
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. (II Chronicles 7:14)
May God once again Bless America!
