Today marks the birthday of the first president of the United States of America, George Washington. Born on February 22, 1732 at Westmoreland, Virginia, without any formal education, rose to become the first American president, commander of the Continental Army, and president of the Constitutional Convention.
His life inspires us with the lesson that no matter the privileges we are blessed with or denied of, with diligence and determination we can get to any height at all.
There’s something more about Washington that I want to focus on – his faith. George was brought up in a Christian home. Both he and his wife, Martha, were devoted members of the Anglican church. It is well known that Martha spent time daily in prayer and George served as a vestryman and churchwarden in his local parish.
George is on record to have said, “It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being.” George also acknowledged God as the ruler of nations when he said, “May we unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the Great Lord and Ruler of Nations…”
As America’s Christian foundation has been greatly shaken, and there are many proponents today for reasoning without faith, it’s my prayer that you and I will be constantly drawn to the point of acknowledging the supremacy of the Omnipotent God in our lives.
“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God…” (Psalm 14:1)
Remain inspired!
