Carried on the wings of patriots who gave their lives in her defense and sustained on the prayers of the churches that used to be the center of her every township, America has scaled unheard of heights. She has been the flagship of freedom, the incubator of innovation, the fortress of the downtrodden. She has tripped in places, fallen in others, sullied her clothes at times, but still stood like the lady liberty in New York Harbor as a beacon of light.
Nothing lasts forever. We live in a world that decays, and nations are no exception. I love my country. America has been a symbol for good for a long time and I pray that she will be again. Humans have a Day of Judgment, a final reckoning, but nations do not. Theirs is a temporal judgment. As long as she brings glory to God, she will remain. When more glory is displayed at her judgment, she will not. So happy birthday, America. Enjoy it while you can.
