Independence

I was born in the USA and I am thankful for the blessing that has been to me personally. Those of us who have this privilege should know what we really have. We have been given, by God’s grace, a land that is fruitful, resource full, culturally rich, historically impressive and blessed in a multitude of ways. We are, however, an arrogant people.

The nation of Israel, preparing to enter the Biblical promised land, were admonished by God to be careful in the land were they were going. They were challenged to remember from whom the land was given, to remember through whom the fruit of that land was given and to remember their God. They were reproved by God that in that day that they transformed into an arrogant people that they would know their real estate without God. They would be ravished by the lands around them, the powers that surrounded them, and lose all that they had acquired.

It is my prayer today for my country that we hear again the voice of God and turn from our arrogant ways. That as a people, we might in honest humility present ourselves before the Lord and seek His will in all that we do. That we might act in righteousness in all we do both locally and globally. And that as we hasten to a new administration, that our leaders might truly seek God’s face and wisdom so as to know God’s favor.

Happy Independence Day!
