It is not a single president or Republican or Democrat party that can save America. There comes a time in the affairs of men when they must prepare to defend, not their homes alone, but the tenets of faith and humanity on which their churches, their governments, and their civilization are founded.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt said something in 1939 that still stands true today:
“The defense of religion, of democracy, and of good faith among nations is all the same fight. To save one we must now make up our minds to save all.“
This was said two years before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Clearly, Roosevelt understood the importance of keeping God in high esteem within the family and within governments.
So why does it seem our government has abandoned God?
The answer isn’t an easy one and the change to abandon God did not happen quickly.
The United States was founded on God at the birth by the covenant of the mayflower compact. It was made by the Pilgrims and God and with each other long before local, state or federal governments were ever enacted. As time went on evidence proves that American had favor with God.
But as new officials were elected into political positions it meant new ideas were brought into play. Not every elected official clearly viewed the importance of the moral code handed down by the finger of God or even the difference between right and wrong as vital to America’s survival.
It’s those immoral, wrongdoing and unprincipled views that have infiltrated American families and government, oftentimes presented in way as to benefit our country when in fact they actually created a void between us and God. And that void results in separation from God and loss of His favor.
Jeremiah 2:11-13 says:
Has a national changed its gods, which really are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit. Be astonished, you heavens at this, and be horribly afraid. Be very desolate, says the Lord. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me, the springs of living water, and cut them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that hold no water.”
American has fallen further and further from God. We either need to decide we have gone too far, believing the chaos Satan has caused and declare him as winner or we believe what Jesus taught and the truths God speaks continually through the Bible. And begin repenting and getting closer to God.
The Bible clearly explains that mankind is to turn to our Maker in every situation. Every situation includes personal, family, and work life. Every situation also includes turning to God to make right our government because our government surely affects all aspects of American life.
Only God Can Save Our Nation
We cannot trust in mankind to save our national from the likes of pandemics, racism, and violence in the streets or government fraud. But we can trust in God’s power to stir the hearts of believers, and call to Him sincerely in prayer and repentance for our nation. Ask Him to place law makers, leaders, and judges who will choose to obey God’s will. And rely on Him to place all concerns for America at the foot of the cross.
Only God can save our nation. He can do it through us. But we need to start by humbling ourselves on our knees confessing our sin.
