Blessed Is The Nation Whose God Is The Lord

July 2025

The Psalmist said in Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” How blessed we are as Americans to live in a land that from its inception based it values, laws, and moral principles on the Bible. Our godly heritage is indisputable. Our founding fathers honored God and set forth to establish a country of the people, by the people and for the people — a nation of freedom, liberty, and unity of purpose where men and women can worship God and honor Him in daily living.

The Bible was the foundation of our nation. Our schools, from primary to university, were Biblically founded and grounded. All subjects were taught from God’s perspective and according to His Word. One’s education was only complete with the knowledge and application of the Scriptures. So whether the subject was mathematics, music, history, science, or politics it was taught by God’s principles. Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

Sadly, over the last 50 years, America has been slipping away from the influence of God’s Word and has allowed and even embraced secularism, humanism, and modernism. The once strong pillars of righteousness, holiness, morality, and truth have eroded. Marriage, family values, and religion have been neglected at best and rejected at worst. The real question is, “How do we get our country back?” God is not pleased with us as a nation in 2015. There is a need for repentance and revival, and only God can bring it as we embrace it.

It has to start in the heart of every born again believer. We have to live the truth, stand for the truth, and be united in Jesus Christ. It will not be easy nor will it happen overnight. Fools despise wisdom and instruction, and there are many fools today. It’s not too late, but time is running out. Money will not solve this problem; government programs will not solve this problem, and time will not solve this problem. Only God, through surrendered hearts, can solve this problem and bring back the greatness of America.

Despite America’s flaws and faults, we are still privileged, favored, and blessed to live in our country. Let us never take our blessings for granted, but let us lead the way back to God. Oh, how we long for the day where we can once again say, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”
