1 Nephi 13:19; Doctrine & Covenants 101:80

1 Nephi 13:19 And I, Nephi, beheld that the Gentiles that had gone out of captivity were delivered by the power of God out of the hands of all other nations.

D&C 101:80 And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.

The Lord was in the birth of this nation and the establishment of the Constitution of the United States. 

On this Independence Day, let us remember that this country was not established by accident and was not established by evil, misguided men (as seems to be the sentiment among some in our nation today). 

The founders of this nation were led here by divine providence. They were protected from all other nations. And they were delivered from much stronger powers because God was with them. 

Likewise, He inspired wise men whom He raised up for that purpose, to craft a Constitution to protect our liberties and allow us to worship Him. 
I stand behind our founding fathers because I stand behind our God and His righteous purposes. 

We, the people, need to embrace the freedoms they fought and died for and live up to our privileges by continuing to live and die for them too. 

May God continue to bless the USA.
