July 4 Devotion: The Wrong Path Without God

Joshua 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

 

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the whole of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the commandments of God. The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded.”                

James Madison, 4th President of the United States


 "We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded; and we ourselves shall become a reproach and by-word down to future ages...I therefore beg leave to move — that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service." Benjamin Franklin, in James Madison's Notes on the Federal Convention


A nation that chooses to follow God will find a path that leads to blessings. But a nation that turns away from God will find the wrong path that will lead to destruction. Anyone who says that America was not founded on biblical principles has refused to listen to or truly study our history but has chosen instead to rewrite it. Being founded upon biblical principles is not to say that everyone of the founding fathers was a devout Christian but it is easy to see where the origin of the principles of the political documents came from. We are living in a day that a minority is shouting the loudest, while attempting to redirect America away from God and down a path of a godless society based on situation ethics and personal opinions. If we continue down this path, our destruction is assured. Let us that believe God, stand up and be counted. The Bible is still true, and God’s way is still right.

 

Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

 

Psalm 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.


God will bless America when America honors God.
