Our nations motto and the phrase imprinted on our currency says :
“In God We Trust”
Trusting God means that we align ourselves to His wisdom and submit our desires to the goodness of His character. Putting aside our selfish ambition and fleshly lusts to live according to His instruction and flourish with peace, hope, love and joy due entirely to His grace.
It means we believe in the Gospel of Jesus.
That we as a people are His and are for Him in this world.
That we fight for the innocent and defend the weak.
That we love and honor our neighbor and do unto him what we would wish him to do to us.
That we love all and expect nothing in return.
That’s why America is great.
Or it was.
Somehow that meaning has been lost into the hotdogs, flags, and fireworks.
Be encouraged. He is still worthy of our trust. It is we who have moved, not Him.
Trust in His promises and that He is who He demonstrates over and over again.
He is loving, tender, holy, forgiving, slow to anger, compassionate, sufficient, understanding, good, hater of evil and protector of the innocent and humble.
He shines light into darkness wherever his people are obedient and bold.
Our nation is heaving, shuttering, crashing against the rocks in the dark night of the storm.
If ever we were in need of light, it is again upon us.
