Today we celebrate the foundation of the United States of America. The advances America has made in almost every field are truly amazing. From a small group of settlers fleeing oppression and tyranny, to the undisputed world leading country, America is the land of opportunity for millions of immigrants and natives, and is unique in all of history. America is the only major country that has been established based upon a set of principles, including the belief in God, rather than the nationality of its citizens. No country comes close to the amount of charity, humanitarian relief, and when necessary, the use of military force to protect the freedom and safety of Americans and others.

The success of America is not a coincidence. The bible says in Proverbs 14:34, “Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Psalm 33:12, “What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.”

It is indisputable that the United States of America is a country founded on the belief in God. Our founders said, “We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” Our money is all coined with “In God We Trust”

Most of the founders were Christian, and the vast majority of American’s today consider themselves Christian, over 70%.

God has blessed the United States with tremendous prosperity, and I believe it is because of American’s dedication to God. May He continue to bless America.

Dear Lord, Thank you for America and letting us live here. Help us not take the America we have been given for granted. Help us stand strong and unashamed of our faith in Jesus Christ, and help us move our country closer to You. God Bless America. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
