Quick Thought: God Bless America or the Whole World

Posted July 8th, 2009 @ 10:35 am by Administrator

TC-er Lisa wrote us with this idea for a Quick Thought topic.  She thinks it’s good food for thought and we agree.

“Why do we say ‘God bless America’ and not ‘God bless all the nations of the world?’  I know God didn’t only create the United States.  Maybe other countries could use God’s blessings, too.’”

What do you think?  If you’re American is it okay to ask for a blessing on your country with out listing others?  Or should we always have a world focus?

(Reminder: Quick Thought comments should be short.  Maybe a couple sentences but no more than 100 words or so.)
