In light of our up-coming election, I felt I should add what few proverbs I've composed about America and politics. First, let me say that this is, in no way, a political campaign or endorsement. It is not to praise one candidate or party above another. Rather, it is simply to remind us all that,
"The powers that be are ordained of God."
(See Romans, Chapter 13)
You will not find nearly as many proverbs as the other pages have, because I haven't composed that many yet. However, it's my hope and prayer that these sayings will guide you in your beliefs about government and patriotism.
Whether we are celebrating a patriotic holiday, running for office, voting in an election, or simply praying for our leaders, may we always remember that no power exists without the knowledge of God. It is He who controls the rise and fall of powers. It is he who has kept our country safe and strong. And, it is He who should guide this great nation in every step of Her existance.
Let us exercise our greatest might as Americans, by resting in the sovereignty of All-mighty God. Then, and only then, will we be able to honestly pray,
"God, Bless America."
