"A Great Nation"

Deuteronomy 4:1–7 (KJV 1900) — 1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you. 2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you. 4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day. 5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. 6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

Psalm 33:12 (KJV 1900) — 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; And the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
People can argue about why America is great....some people say America isn't great at all....I'm one of the people that says America is great, but only on the principle that our founding fathers believed "In God We Trust".....we have some sordid history in our Genesis for sure, but I think about the people that made our nation .... we had natives here already...but the people that came from England? Think about this....who would give up their land and position in social class to come to a plot of ground where you may or may not live for a year?? Well the answer to that is no one in their right minds....so we had a lot of criminals and lower class people and some who would start anew to risk coming over here.... some people who were just trying to hide....but I also remember that group of pilgrims who came over here to get away from the Church of England...and worship the Lord freely without government intervention....we know their story....half of them died the first winter....we have the story of Thanksgiving where these pilgrims are involved....but the Bible says blessed is the nation who's God is the Lord....my friends, God has made this country what it is....there can be no other explanation...think of it...we went through a civil war? when we were still an infant nation?? How could we have survived that...if God were not cloaking us with His protection from hostiles....now we may argue further that we have been a safe haven for His chosen people the Hebrews, and I think that point of view has merit....and we best continue to support Israel and its people....but make no mistake about it....when I get to Heaven...if I'm allowed to....I want to see Jesus...the Heavenly Father....but I also want to meet with these people and see the ones who's prayers turned a nation upside down for Jesus Christ! 

​May God bless you all this day!!
