AMERICA: BLESSED NATION

By the word of the Lord were the heavens
made, their starry host by the breath of
His mouth. He gathers the waters of the
sea into jars; He puts the deep into store-
houses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let
all the people of the world revere Him. For
He spoke, and it came to be;
He commanded, and it stood firm. The
Lord foils the plans of the nations; He
thwarts(opposes) the purposes of the
peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand
firm forever, the purposes of His heart
through all generations(Psalms 33:6-11.)


Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance. From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; from His dwelling place He watches all who live on earth---He who forms the hearts of all, who considers everthing they do. No king is saved by the size of his army;no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love, to deliver them from death, and keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You( Psalms 33:12-22.)

ENCOURAGEMENT: Let us continue to praise the Lord for His holy word that continues to speak to us today as we study and hide it in our hearts. Just as we received Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, we must continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as we are taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
