Independence Day July 4th Proverbs
God-devotion makes a country strong; God-avoidance leaves people weak.
Proverb 14:34 MSG
Today we will change things up for July 4th and read a Proverbs verse from chapter 14 instead of chapter 4. As we devote our attention to our nation today, let’s not forget to devote our attention to what makes our country strong, God!
Under attack is The Pledge of Allegiance, The Ten Commandments, crosses at Arlington National Cemetery, National Day of Pray, Christmas, our currency, and the list goes on…
Today we celebrate our great country and all of the freedoms we have been given and sometimes take for granted. We are part of unique nation in the world that openly trusts in God. The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Nobody is going to jail if they don’t want to say God during The Pledge and the amendment is clear that it is referring to Congress and the establishment of religion. Separation of Church and State, which was decided by a 5 to 4 vote, has been abused by groups like the ACLU and others who want to move our country to secular state. Unfortunately the voices for eliminating God from our country are slowly becoming the louder voices. We must remember if we don’t stand up and voice our concerns, we can’t complain when God is devalued and avoided from our country.
Thank you to all of the service men and women who have served our country giving us the freedoms we have. We are a nation that can openly worship any religion we choose without fear of reprisals. Many soldiers have died to give that protection to us and many other nations in the world.
Today remember that God made and makes our country strong and without God people and nations are left weak. May The U.S. continue to bless God!
