Read previous posts from this passage – “A Penny for Your Thoughts” and “Are You Thriving or Just Surviving?”
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. …If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” (John 8:32; 36)
Praise the Lord for America! This is the greatest nation on the face of the earth. When I think about Independence Day I am filled with praise and gratitude to our God for three specific things:
1 I thank the Lord for Jesus who died on the cross for my sins, giving me liberty from the Law and from the bondage of sin. To think that Christ would love someone like me is really beyond my comprehension.
2 I also thank the Lord for the men and women of God throughout the centuries who have given their lives delivering the message of salvation. I could not be saved today if it weren’t for people who sacrificed greatly communicating the truth of God’s Word.
3 Finally, I am filled with gratitude for the men and women who have given their lives for the cause of freedom here in America. With all of her faults, America is by far the best place in the world to live. I can carry my Bible here; I can open it on any street corner and proclaim the glorious name of Christ. I have the freedom to worship God here according to the convictions that God has given me through His Word. I do a lot of complaining about the direction our country is heading sometimes but today I am going to lay aside all of the negatives and be thankful for the blessing of America!
One more thing. I am going to think today about what sacrifice I can make to send the message of Christ to not just America, but to every living, breathing soul on this earth.
Thank you Jesus for setting me free from sin. Thank you America for giving me the freedom to thank and serve Jesus.
