The Betsy Scarf depicts an original design of Betsy Ross (the creator of the first American flag). Features a profound message first preached as part of a sermon leading up to the Declaration of Independence in 1776 by one of our founding fathers, John Witherspoon. His sermon, "The Dominion of Providence over the Passions of Men" was based on Psalm 76:10 and reminded his listeners about God's ability to work everything for the good of His cause. Throughout his sermon, he urged them to commit themselves to Christ and spoke hope into a country that had not yet been born. 

He closed with uplifting words spoken to arouse the nation: "...In times of difficulty and trial, it is in the man of piety and inward principles that we expect to find the uncorrupted patriot, the useful citizen, and the invincible soldier. God grant that in America, true religion and civil liberty may be inseparable, and that the unjust attempts to destroy the one may in the [end] tend to the support and the establishing of both."

This portion of his sermon was included in our Betsy scarf to remind others that we are a nation full of hope, unlimited potential, and the Holy Spirit. America can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens her!
