Minor Country -- Major Role
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD…
Psalm 33:12
Recommended Reading
Proverbs 14:34
Based on our present spiritual temperature, we may forget that America has been the force behind world missions. Incredible that a country with 5 percent of the world's population has launched 75 percent of the missionaries of the last century and has provided approximately the same amount of money and material aid. 1
As believers look to the future and witness prophetic events unfolding, it's natural to wonder about the fate of one's own country. As an American, I find it interesting to study the sovereignty of God in the founding of America. Although the Bible makes no direct references to God's plan for America, He has distinctly used it in His redemptive purposes as a launching pad for spreading the Gospel to the world.
What's America's role in the prophetic future? The Bible is silent. God's Word and our future are not to be approached as simply an international message, but as an individual message. Salvation offers a future hope to each and every one of us.
How can we keep silent?
The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth that God governs in the affairs of men.
