Righteousness Upholds A Nation

“It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to owe their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord....” - Abraham Lincoln, 1863.

 

If our nation and our national leaders would have more of this type of attitude - perhaps we could get back to the attitude minted on our currency – “In God We Trust.” Even in the Pledge of Allegiance, that our youth memorize early in life, is the phrase “...one nation under God.” We all need to do our part in getting God back into our nation. We need to stand up and be heard. We need to fight for morality and righteousness. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

 

Solomon wrote, “Righteousness exalts a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.” ( Pro. 14:34 )
