If there were ever a time in history, now is the time for our beloved America to be healed.
Our founding fathers knew the value of the Bible as the foundation of morality.
George Washington: “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.”
Abraham Lincoln: “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.”
Patrick Henry: “The Bible is worth all books that have ever been printed.”
Our current leaders need to wake up and move forward ruling under the admonition of the Lord. America is beautiful, but has many problems. What can we do? We can start where we are by taking it back to basics, back to truth, back to honor, back to character, back to integrity, back to morality, back to work ethics, and back to the Bible.
A mother wrote the following letter to our soldiers and had it printed in the newspaper: “My sons are my world. I want you to know that they are two of the many you are fighting for. They are too young to fully understand, but one day they will know. I will do my best to make sure they know what you have sacrificed for their future. You should know that I am so very grateful for your loyalty, pride and love for America. I can only pray that my children never have to face such evils as you have to face. I’m sure your mothers prayed the same. But if my children do have to face evil, I hope they will walk with their shoulders square, their heads held high and their hearts filled with the same determination that you have. You are in my thoughts and prayers each day. I am praying for your safe return and a great victory over our foes. God bless you all. From, a mother.”
PRAYER: Father, as we look at our nation today may our leaders wake up and move forward ruling under the admonition of the Lord. Help our country to come back to morality, back to work ethics, and back to the Bible.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV).
