This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and
a judge? The same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by
the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. Acts 7:35
The Magna Carta, a charter of liberties that guaranteed rights and
privileges of the king’s subjects, was issued June 15, 1215. It is one
of the most important legal documents in history. Did the King consider
God in this great charter? The opening text reads; “Know that
we, out of reverence for God and for the salvation of our soul and
those of all our ancestors and heirs, for the honour of God…” Pray
for those who govern over us and the liberties they institute, that
God may be reverenced and glorifi ed above all. —Jerry Proctor
Our fathers’ God, to Thee, Author of liberty, to Thee we sing;
Protect us by Thy might, great God, our King! —Samuel F Smith
