Freedom is a very important word.  The Bible talks a lot about freedom.  This country was born because people wanted freedom.  Freedom to worship, freedom to live, freedom to raise their families in a place where they could rise to their full potential.  Men and women have fought and died for those freedoms.  I don't know about you, but I am thankful for those freedoms.

 

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  Galatians 5:1

 

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  2 Cor. 3:17

 

For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.  Romans 8:2

 

We live in the greatest and the freest nation in the world (the United States of America). That did not happen without God. It did not happen without inspired leaders. That does not mean any of these leaders were perfect. They weren’t, and you and I aren’t perfect either.  However, God can use imperfect people to accomplish His goals and He has done it all through history.  King Cyrus did not even know God, but God used him to rebuild the temple.  Moses was a murderer, but God used him to lead the nation of Israel out of Egyptian bondage. Paul persecuted all that believed in Jesus, but God used him to reach the Gentiles (that’s you and me) with the Gospel.

 

Thank you Lord for the United States of America. Thank you Lord for all who have fought for our freedoms.  Thank you for having your hands on our nation. Help us God as we move forward. Lead us and guide us in the way You want us to go.  In Jesus' Name.   God Bless America!!
