1. Built by God

Psalm 33:6-9

6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth. 7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; He puts the deep into storehouses. 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere Him. 9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

Psalm 127:1

“Except the Lord build the house they labor in vain who build it.”

2. Founded by God

Psalm 33:10-11

10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. 11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.

3. Blessed by God

Psalm 33:12-15

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance. 13 From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; 14 from His dwelling place He watches all who live on earth — 15 He who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

4. Helped by God

Psalm 33:16-19

16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. 18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love, 19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

Psalm 121:1-2

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains — where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

“If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be one nation gone under.” - Ronald Reagan

5. Sustained by God

Psalm 33:20-22

20 We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. 21 In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His Holy Name. 22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.
