Ronald Reagan believed God had a plan for our nation.
America and the sovereignty of God
When you look back on History you see America’s leaders turned to God for guidance. And didn’t just use alegant words about Jesus and the judeo-christian values. How many in an administration actually take to prayer and do what God wants and not what self wants? We see Washington kneeling in the snow in a valley forge. We see our founders on their knees at the first continental congress, we see Lincoln praying in the hour of national crisis. How many today will actually do what Lincoln did if a national crisis arose? We see Woodrow Wilson reading his bible at night by the whitehouse lights. Washington summarized the national dependence on God when he said “no people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United States.”
Why has God blessed this nation above all other lands? God has blessed America because we have been the launching pad of the world’s great missionary movement. The achievements are largely due to the missionary zeal of churches in the United States. But most importantly America has been a friend to the jewish people, America’s historic support of Israel is based on the judeo-christian heritage of our nation. President Truman’s determination to recognize Israel as a modern state fueled by his lifelong belief that, in Deuteronomy, God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people for all time. Israel being surrounded by Arab nations immediately declared war on the new nation. But the historic love that Christians have for the land and people of Israel, based upon their shared religious heritage and scriptures has cemented the friendship between American and Israel. God promised to bless those who bless Israel GEN 12:3 he has amply fulfilled that promise. America has been abundantly blessed as a nation because we have blessed the jews. But many today are trying to dictate the promises of GOD by saying no to men but are really saying no to GOD. If the current administration continues down the path of self and handcuffs Israel we can hardly expect the blessing of almighty GOD to continue.
