True Freedom

Happy Fourth of July everyone! It’s that time of year again to take a moment to genuinely reflect on all that God has blessed this country with. We were founded on Godly principles and Godly men and women that gave their lives to make sure that the next generation would also have freedom. 

But this freedom is fragile and our enemy knows it! This modern trend to show dissatisfaction and disgust at our countries is planned to make us easily give up what we have as a New World Order is rolled in. We are all being played! 

Godly men laid the foundation for this country which demands great gratitude. George Washington stated that our vision for the future must be stronger than our present circumstances. How true is that statement today! He prayed, “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to FINISH THE WORK we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds… to do all which may achieve and cherish a JUST AND LASTING PEACE among ourselves and with all nations.” 

People sincerely wonder if our country will ever be Godly and peaceful again, after all, a “house divided will certainly fall,” and we are greatly divided. Our freedoms are eroding and fear is rising. But let’s be clear… Our hope is in God and His peace, not the frail peace contrived by man and his politics. Likewise, we must get back to placing God first and to serving His people and His Kingdom with great love and commitment, and pray that He pours out the blessings of Heaven. 

“Unless the Lord builds the house the workers labor in vain.” May we be busy serving, growing, and building a nation that loves the Lord, that seeks His ways and that obeys Him wholeheartedly. May we become people of profound prayer, lifting up our next generation to God for His help, guidance and provision. Then… watch Freedom truly ring!
