What does Independence Day mean to you? We honor our currently serving service people as well as all veterans. We have cookouts and fireworks. For many of us it is about food and family. Let us not forget, however, that this holiday is a celebration of our liberation from Colonial Great Britain and while Great Britain is a great friend of ours, we should recall that the nation many of us call home exists because people had a vision from God of what their lives and this land could be. As we recall the price generations of people have paid for our liberty, let us not forget the original struggle for independence that is at the heart of this celebration. Take it into your heart. Think about the early framers and the men and women who made perilous journey’s to their “promised land” and gave us all the chance to live in a free country. This is a great privilege and not one to be taken lightly.
Today we celebrate our independence. We fought for our independence from Great Britain so that we would be answerable to only one authority, our God. He is our king. He is the original framer of this country. Give Him worship for all He has done!
