Most countries relish their histories…famous eras and the glory of battle and all that. Americans love this beautiful land, as well.
But the Bible tells us the true source of our blessings. It points us to the One who made all things possible.
Psalm 115:1 tells us, “Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.”
We are incredibly blessed in America for a lot of reasons. From sufficient food to freedom to make our own choices, we have so much. But do we always acknowledge the source of our blessings?
Our forefathers did.
George Washington’s tomb at Mt. Vernon has Scripture etched into the stones. The Father of our country knew his heavenly Father!
The Bible tells us that we should glory first in our great God. He is the one we owe our lives to. Every breath we take. We owe our Savior Jesus our eternal lives.
It is to Him that all honor and glory belongs. As proud Americans, we stand on our faith. Of our almost limitless blessings, that is number one.
To God be the glory!
Let’s pray.
Lord, your mercies are available to us each day. As we get ready for a new day, help us to remember that You are our source. In Jesus’ name, amen.
