God truly sheds His Grace on America!
“America! America! God sheds His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.” Look around you today. What happened between America and her King, God? He is no longer welcome everywhere. In times of trouble America calls on Him. In times of calm, America shuts the door in His face.Abraham Lincoln was asked if he thought God was on our side. He responded: “Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side. My great concern is to be on God's side.”
One thing remains the same: America’s King, God is still merciful to her and those who seek Him are still able to find Him even today.
Listen to the words of French writer Alexis de Tocqueville, after visiting America in 1831, "I sought for the greatness of the United States in her commodious harbors, her ample rivers, her fertile fields, and boundless forests--and it was not there. I sought for it in her rich mines, her vast world commerce, her public school system, and in her institutions of higher learning--and it was not there. I looked for it in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution--and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great!"
I believe America is great because her God is greater!
Gracious Father in heaven, the one who loves America and caused her lands to be fertile, please help us to return to the “secret of our genius and power;” help us to return to You, our King eternal, the only Wise God! This is our solemn Declaration of Dependence, Amen.
Pray for America, God is still Gracious!
