This is Dorette Schaal with an encouraging Word for your day. How encouraging it is to live in freedom. Knowing who we are and living free in Christ is a magnificent privilege for us as believers. Celebrating freedom for our great country is fabulous as well. Enjoy your holiday this week. Let’s celebrate freedom! Here is your dailyeword
God bless America! What a beautiful land we live in, and how thankful we are for the freedoms we enjoy here. God has blessed us immeasurably and we are very grateful for those who serve in our nation. We are so proud to be Americans. America is a land of abundance and blessing, and it is interesting to notice that there aren’t too many people trying to leave the USA, but lots and lots of people trying to find their way here to live in our great land.
The Old Testament is filled with references to land and the blessing that comes with it.
There is a land flowing with milk and honey, there is a fruitful land, a land that remains, a return to their homeland, and most familiarly a healing of our land. We could say all those things about America. We are fruitful, but also needy. There are still so many who need to know God. He cares about where we live, and how we use our land. His hand of blessing comes as we humble ourselves and pray for our nation and its leaders. Let’s hold up the standard of righteousness in America!
As we celebrate the 4th of July this week, may we never forget the blood that was shed so that we can have the freedoms we often take for granted. And most importantly, let us never forget the freedoms we have in Christ. He whom the Son sets free is free indeed! We are free from bondage, freed from shame, and free from the dominion of the devil. Hallelujah! That freedom came at a great price. It was the blood of Jesus that was shed that still has power to bring freedom today. Let’s rejoice in that freedom!
