“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3:5 (ESV)
“In God We Trust” originated in “The Star Spangled Banner.” The 4th verse says, “And this be our motto: ‘in God is our trust.’ ” On July 30, 1956, it was declared our national motto.
The challenge for us now as Americans is to live as though our trust is in God.
One way to trust in God is to make prayer a lifestyle. A life without prayer is a tacit declaration of independence from God lived out daily.
As we celebrate the anniversary of our national motto, let us accompany our “In God We Trust” declaration with a lived out demonstration.
