Blessed is the Nation Whose God is the Lord

1st glance: this is a call to America to return to God.
2nd glance: No! This is uniquely about Israel, His covenant people
3rd glance: Not so simple! It does speak of universal truths to both Israel and to America 2007

Universal truths
His blessing (v5)
His rule in creation (v6-7)
So v8: call for ALL to revere Him (incl America, 2007)
Because He sovereignly rules history (v9-11)
Warnings & Invitation
He weighs the actions of ALL (v13-15)
The vanity of all secular self-reliance (v16-17)
He delivers ALL who hope in Him uniquely
•v18a: in HIM
•v18b: in His covenant love
So where is America's hope this 231st anniversary of our Declaration of Independence?

Where is your hope?
In American power structures to keep America “Christian”?
Or in the sovereign Spirit Who alone can bring revival and reformation?
