Blessed Is The Nation
March 16, 2013
The destiny of a nation is not determined by its armed forces or material resources. Nor is it empowered by its political philosophy or intellectual achievements. God's Word reveals and the records of history prove that it is "not by power nor by might, but by My spirit" that nations survive over time.
The destiny of any nation is determined by the spiritual life of its people. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord", declared David.
Every nation has had an opportunity to accept the Word of God and follow His ways, to worship Him and to do His will. If they accepted His offer, that nation was blessed. However, if a nation chooses to reject Him, His teachings and refuses to worship and follow Him and establish their own foundation, they will eventually be destroyed. This is obvious and a fact of history.
Rome became a great empire but it collapsed. Why? The celebrated Italian historian, Papini, wrote that "the temple, the bank, and the academy were against Jesus of Nazareth."
Germany became great but was reduced to rubble. Wrote a German philosopher, "They pushed God out of the universities and that was the beginning of the death sentence for the empire."
What will be our destiny when we are no longer "one nation under God"? We are the ones responsible to "humble ourselves, pray, call upon the Lord and repent", if we do not want to be a memory on the pages of history.
