Government Aid
God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? (Benjamin Franklin)
Franklin points out that the Bible itself answers his question. It’s not just the initial building of an empire but sustaining it throughout its history that requires the blessing of Almighty God. That implies, of course, that for any nation to succeed, it will continue to need God’s blessing and provision. Governments today should seek God’s direction and request His blessing.
Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it (Psalm 127:1).
