A U S President made a statement for a new year.

A President of the United States make a statement about this time of year.

It is John Quincy Adams, in 1837 who said:

"Is it now that, in the chain of events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior?..... . Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission?

"That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets 600 years before?"

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or conceive, by the power which is at work among us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus from generation to generation evermore! Amen Ephesians 3:20

Faith of our early national leaders

No one can not know the future,and Jonathan Trumbull, governor of the Connecticut Colony did not when on this date in March 24th, he proclaimed the 19th of April, 1775 to be as a day of prayer and fasting.

What he did not know was that the 29th of April would be the day the War for Independence would break out leading to the birth of a new nation and a world force.

What he wrote in his proclamation:

"God would graciously pour out His Holy Spirit on us to bring us to a thorough Repentance and effectual Reformation that our iniquities may not be our ruin; that He would restore, preserve and secure the Liberties of this and all the other British American colonies, and make the Land a mountain of Holiness, and Habitation of Righteousness forever."

PS. A prayer worth repeating, often.
