Benjamin Franklin

After the American Revolution, The Founders of our nation gathered in Philadelphia to write a new constitution. But soon, the unity that had given the colonies victory over Britain, melted into quarreling and selfishness. Just when it seemed all would fall apart, the eldest statesman of the group stood to give an inspired speech.
Benjamin Franklin began, The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God governs in the affairs of man… We have been assured in the sacred writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Therefore, I move that prayers employing the assistance of heaven and its blessings on our deliberation be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business.”
Benjamin Franklin’s call was heeded. The Constitution of the United States of America was built on a foundation of prayer. God had begun to bless America.
What foundation are you building your life upon? Why not invite God to be your Founding Father?
