ONE NATION UNDER GOD WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL . . . This is what the flag stands for. This is the country of the National Anthem. Imperfect in its population but not in its standards. Blessed by God because it was built on God's principles. To disrespect the flag is to disrespect all this country has strived to be. Yes, people have failed to live up to the standards on which this nation was built, but that doesn't weaken the principles. It shows the weakness in people who fail to base their lives on God's standards.
Father, forgive us. We've ruined so much of what you made beautiful. Please restore beauty from ashes. Please have mercy on our nation once again. We ask in the Name, Authority, and Blood of Jesus, Amen.
