Patriot's daily Devotional

Hello All, Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Psalm 33:12 When the first settlers arrived in America, the influence of the Bible on their lives came with them. For many, their Christian faith was as much a part of who they were as their brave spirit was, and their faith impacted everything they did. This fact stands out boldly as one sees, again and again, Scripture reflected in the individual colonies’ statements of the goal of their government. The Rhode Island Charter of 1683, for instance, begins this way: “We submit our person, lives, and estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, and to all those perfect and most absolute laws of His given us in His Holy Word.” In fact, from the first colony at Jamestown to the Pennsylvania Charter of Privileges granted to William Penn in 1701, where “all persons who. . . profess to believe in Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, shall be capable. . . to serve this government in any capacity, both legislatively and executively.” The Bible was considered the rule of life in the colonies. Lord, please keep my mind fixed on You and my thoughts grounded in Your Word so that You can use me to encourage my family, friends, and co-workers today. Help me to be aware of what I say and the way I say it — before I say it. Copied The Patriot’s Daily Devotional – Dr. Richard Lee
