Proverbs 14:34 (NLT)

Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people.

The Writer of Proverbs tells us exactly what makes a nation great.  Godliness is the key to greatness for any nation or group of people.  It is not the standards of any political party or the propaganda of its leaders.  Greatness is developed by adhering to the message of Scripture.  We would be well served in our present day to return to the Bible and seek the face of God as a nation.

Any of us can be effective by focusing on our own habits and mannerisms.  Start your day with the Word of God and it will give you the focus needed to help make our nation great.  Power does not come from your politics but from your personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.  Remember that human history is headed towards a meeting with the Lord Jesus at the Judgement Seat of Christ or the White Throne Judgement.

Only those who appear before the Judgement Seat of Christ will be save.

Blessings and Be Safe,
