Did the TV station have it right?

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord …” is the first portion of Psalm 33:12.

I learned that powerful message … from television!

Yes, from TV.

As a kid living in the Phoenix area, there used to be a television station owned by famous cowboy star Gene Autry that had the tag line, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. KOOL-TV, channel 10, Phoenix.” I heard that tag line so often it provoked me to look it up in the Bible, and to ponder its truth.

Once the station was sold, the tag line also disappeared. With it, over time, we’ve become a nation whose god isn’t the Lord. In fact, it would be a rare thing for a television station to proclaim any such notion.

Have you noticed that as we have dropped such a bold proclamation, America has also been much less blessed?

Perhaps those words from the Psalms were actually true: “BLESSED is the nation whose GOD is the LORD …”!
