Land of the Free
Tomorrow is a special day. It is the 4th of July celebration of America becoming a country. And it’s not just a regular 4th of July, but a landmark of 250 years! America, Land of the free, is still thriving, keeping dear our Constitution and Bill of Rights that has been God ordained from the very beginning. Our forefathers lifted our country up to the Lord, dedicating our obedience to Him based on our Judeo-Christian beliefs. We made a covenant with the Lord to hold dear our belief in the Lord and the freedoms that are granted to each individual.
The Lord blessed our nation throughout the centuries and it is a testament that America is still free today. We still hold these truths to be self evident, and not to be taken for granted but treasured.
Throughout our history as a country, America has been put to the test to uphold and defend our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Evil forces attempted and still to this day, try to destroy Her and the ideals we hold dear. And yet, goodness and righteousness prevail by the grace of God.
I thank God I was born in America to Christian parents where I can worship Jesus without fear. But each generation must do their part in defending and keeping America free. Threats are coming in all directions but as Christians we must stand in the path of evil and fight for America and defend her freedoms to this day.
God will bless our country if we repent and turn back to Him, defend Israel, (our duty as Christians), and honor our Father in Heaven.
”When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.” Proverbs 29:2. NIV
Songwriter Lee Greenwood sang it best:
That I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free,
And I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend Her still today.
’Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land…
God Bless the U.S.A.!
“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God and those that exist have been instituted by God.”
