From earliest times, God commanded His people to see their national home through His holy eyes. In other words, countries around the world are to follow the Lord. Of course, many don’t.
Jeremiah 30:22 says, “So you will be my people, and I will be your God.”
Many great civilizations have risen, but few last beyond a couple hundred years. Although history is debated, the foundations of America see a people who wanted to live holy unto the Lord. Modern America is still an ongoing experiment, but our Pledge of Allegiance, adopted in 1942, used the phrase “Under God.”
Lincoln used it for the first time during his Gettysburg Address, when he told the people that from that point on, we would be one people—united under the Living God.
This is something to celebrate, and we should! Our nation is always stretching to do better and fulfill an ideal that is more than just some slogan. It’s our calling to be this way…under God.
Let’s pray.
Lord, thank you that Christ is proclaimed in freedom in our nation! Help us continue this sacred calling. In Jesus’ name, amen.
