God Bless America? America, Bless God!
A few days ago, we celebrated our nation’s birthday. Across the country there were flags waving, families gathering, fireworks lighting up the night sky and many hearts filled with gratitude for the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. It is right to be thankful. It is right to remember the sacrifices that have been made. It is right to appreciate the blessings God has allowed us to enjoy in this land.
Many of us have often said, sung or prayed the words, “God bless America.” I believe that is still a good prayer. I want God to bless America. I want Him to protect our nation, guide our leaders, preserve our freedoms and show us mercy. But perhaps the greater question is not only, “Will God bless America?” Perhaps the greater question is, “Will America bless God?”
