As citizens of the United States of America, our nation’s leaders have always acknowledged God, even if some of them haven’t always been model Christians. For one thing, no one can occupy the Oval Office and not lay aside some pride.

And if our nation’s spiritual health has sometimes been less-than-desired, there is a unity that we all enjoy. This community spirit has made America a very interesting experiment.

Romans 8:31 tells us, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

We’re now more than 200 years into our story, and even the harshest critics would be hard-pressed to prove that God hasn’t blessed this country. Wars and economic upheavals and scandals have not phased God in His ability to keep us upright.

History tells us nations that acknowledge God enjoy blessings that others don’t. In His mercy, God has been for us—especially when it counted most.

And do you know the best part? A success story like that couldn’t have been made possible without thousands of individuals who wanted nothing more than to be in God’s will.

They make up our family, and together we look to the future. Being in God’s will for generations to come.

Let’s pray.

Lord, you hold our future in Your hands. The ancients understood that You are the Creator and the shaper of everything that is good. Help us to remember that in our time. In Jesus’ name, amen.
