“The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity.” John Adams
As Jeremiah warned his leaders and people not to depart from adhering to God’s guidance via Biblical law, so should we who are concerned for the well-being and longevity of our nation.
Biblical principles are God’s provision of guidance for us to avoid great harm and to enjoy great blessings. I submit that we should follow Jeremiah’s example. The life of our nation hangs in the balance.
I bring three Bible verses to God to ask Him to intervene and to rule in our nation.
“The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.” [1]
“For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations.” [2]
“It is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.” [3]
I use seven Bible verses to boost my faith in God’s sovereignty:
“He changes the times and the years. He takes kings away and puts kings in power. He gives wisdom to wise men and much learning to men of understanding.” [4]
“Many plans are in a person’s heart, but the Lord’s decree will prevail.” [5]
“He makes nations great, and he destroys them; he enlarges nations, and leads them away. [6]
“How blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he has chosen as his own inheritance.” [7]
“…My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure.” [8]
“I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.” [9]
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” [10]
Let us never stop praying and believing that God can bring our people into line with His Word. We do not want a nation built on shifting sand. We want a nation built on the rock foundation of practicing God’s Word. [11]
