There were many examples of patriots in the Scriptures. Here are some names that come to mind - Joshua, David, Jonathan, Joab. God blessed these men and many others who fought to win freedom for their country or to keep their country free. God blessed them because they honored Him. And God blessed Israel all the days in which the people remembered the Lord and kept His covenant.
The founding fathers of our nation also feared God. They feared Him and acknowledged Him in their daily lives and in their labor for our country. And many patriots since have feared and honored God and been blessed of Him. Today though, many in our country have forgotten God. It is only by His power that our country is preserved to us as a place in which we can live quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty.
Let us never forget these blessings from God. And lets us never forget the Son of God who was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. He truly paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we might have freedom from sin and eternal peace and happiness through Him.
O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 117
