Have you ever pondered the unlikely success of the American Revolution? I mean really sat back and imagined the overwhelming odds of a small, rag-tag group of freedom fighters defeating the greatest military nation on earth, Great Britain?
It boggles the mind and can only be attributed to the hand of Providence.
Scripture is full of accounts of overwhelming odds being defeated by God-fearing men and armies. The inclusion of God in the mindset of those who have fought for freedom, liberty and peace in the past enabled them to obtain their objectives and conquer their foes.
Like I said, here's some food for thought.
Congress proclaimed days of fasting and thanksgiving during the Revolutionary War. The proclamation set by Congress on May 17, 1776 was a "...day of humiliation, fasting and prayer..."
The United States of America won the war with England. We were outnumbered, outgunned, lacking in strategy, scraping the bottom of the barrel for supplies, and yet we won. The victory was won by a nation who revered God, who called upon Him to deliver them from bondage and who fought with the moral courage and fortitude that can only be found in a God-fearing people.
Congress certainly believed it back then. I wish they could do so now.
