Psalm 33:12 "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance "
God blesses a nation who humbly seeks Him. God blesses a nation because of its prayers, not its power. He blesses a nation because of its character, not its commerce. He blesses a nation because of its trust in Him, not its advanced technology. God blesses a nation who loves God and expresses that love in caring for the impoverished and diseased.
God blesses a nation because of His church, not the size of that nation’s economy. God blesses a nation when individuals gather corporately in vibrant Christian worship. The church is God’s means to awaken a nation. Nations who try to control the church lose God’s blessing. God’s blessing cannot be governed.
Christians are "salt and light" (Matthew 5:13-14) in the midst of decayed and darkened nations. When believers gather together in a bond of love they create a thirst for righteousness and shed light on the ways of the Lord.
