Laus Deo - “Praise be to God.” These two simple words are atop the Washington Monument which stands at the heart of America’s capitol city declaring that God be praised for this nation and the blessings bestowed upon it. God is waiting for another generation that will once again embrace this cry and declare God be praised on every corner in this nation and the nations of the world! It says in Luke 19:40, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.” The monuments, the writings, the lives of America’s forefathers are crying out “Praise be to God” but where are the people of God today making this declaration? For too long we have cried praise be to man, praise be to the state for our success, life, and liberty. Just as the Founders of this great nation understood where the source of life, liberty, and happiness came from, we too need to turn our praise to the King of kings and Lord of lords and stop exalting the state and ourselves above God.
