“In God We Trust” is more than our Nation’s motto!
Psalm 25:2, O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
“In God We Trust” became the United States national motto in 1956. That was about 100 years after James Pollock said in a letter dated November 20, 1861,
“Dear Sir: No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.”
Some of this nation’s representatives hit the nail on the head when they voted to have the National Mint engrave “In God We Trust” on our currency. It identifies who our financial blessings come from. Oh, how much more should we, as the Church, let “In God We Trust” be more than a motto! It should be our mission to live by!
