The American currency motto was changed from E pluribus unum (out of many, one) to “In God We Trust” on its currency in 1956. Senator Bennett believed, would “serve as a constant reminder” that the nation’s political and economic fortunes were tied to its spiritual faith. This was approved by President Dwight Eisenhower on July 30, 1956. However, history shows that the first appeal for this change dates back as far as November 13, 1861 when Rev. M. R. Watkinson wrote to the Treasury Secretary Chase, requesting the change and reminding Government to not disown God in the US currency. Believers should never stand back when having to reprimand a system that disowns God, knowing the first commandment is as Good for a country as it is for the individual.
Jesus says:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second most important commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment more important than these two.”
Mark 12:30 & 31 (GNB)
It is important that one stands firm on putting God first in Marriage, Family, Finance, Society and Politics. This would remind society of Godliness and will remove anarchy and destruction.
Dear Lord, help me to put you first in everything I do. Remind me that without you I would be spiritually poor, without hope and protection. Today I dedicate myself, my family and my country to you for heavenly protection. In God I trust for everything. In Jesus name, Amen.
