As we celebrate the
glorious day of Freedom, July 4th, Let us give glory unto the Lord
for His Wonderful Sacrifice to us, The Lord Jesus Christ! On this day we
remember the multitude of men and women who have given their life for the
Freedom that we have today. There is always Sacrifice for Freedom. To these men
& women who have served and are serving, we give thanks for them. May we
always keep our Country and our Military in Prayer. I can’t help but give Glory
and Honor to our God for planting us on a firm foundation. Our Forefathers had
a knowledge of God and often referred to Him in their duties of our Country.
Let us be reminded to the words of our Forefathers who began the liberty of our
Country. “When in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one
People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to
which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent
Respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the Separation. Having established the legal criteria for,
and declaring independence from the thrown of England, the document ends with a
clear Declaration of Dependence upon Almighty God. “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights … And for the support of this declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection
of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our
Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” Now, our
precious country has strayed from its moorings as an independent land and a
people with a clear and unapologetic Dependence upon God. Now we have a country
that is becoming increasingly dependent upon others in the world and a people
who are increasingly independent of and in rebellion against that same God upon
whom our forefathers declared their dependence. Let us remember we are of the Believer in Christ are a chosen
generation, chosen for Him. Ps. 33:12 – “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom
He hath chosen for His own inheritance.”
As you celebrate this 4th of July in 2017 give glory and
adoration to our God who has liberated us unto His Wonderful Salvation! Happy 4th - Loving you, Pastor
