National Blessing

Scripture:

Psalm 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance".

Observation:

The Psalmist makes a declaration here about the nation whose God is the Lord. He says that nation is blessed and the people are chosen as His own inheritance. The blessing of God can come upon a nation that places their trust in Him and when it does, that nation is blessed! The United States once was blessed in that way. It's God was the Lord. It's founders trusted God and the nation was blessed with an amazing history. It became a superpower in a relatively short time. The problem is that our nation has turned away from God and written Him out of their history books.

Application:

America must turn back to God. We need a third great awakening. We need to turn back to the God of our fathers and get under God's blessing once again. We experienced God's undeniable blessing for many years, now we no longer place our trust in Him. The blessing of God has left our nation and the only way to get it back is to turn to Him as a nation.

Prayer:

Lord, let America turn back to You. Let the hearts of men be pierced with the truth of Your word. Let transformation come to our nation. We have seen the day of Your blessing, now we are no longer under the hand of blessing. Forgive us oh Lord for turning away from You.

Yours,
Jeff
