The well-known line from the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…popped into my head recently, during one of my Morning Devotional Times.
So since our Nation’s 248th Birthday is fast approaching, I felt like the Lord was leading me to do this message…which is actually one I’ve thought about doing for a while now.
For though this Founding Document is indeed a declaration of independence from a certain tyrannical earthly government, it is moreover a declaration of belief in and dependence upon Nature’s God…their Creator, by the 56 Signers, and that they are appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions…with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence…
–Some truths I ‘m sure most of us wish more of our modern politicians–and citizens–would reflect on!
Declaration of Independence: A Transcription | National Archives
If My people, who are called by My Name,
will humble themselves and pray and seek My Face
and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from Heaven,
and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
–2 Chronicles 7:14
Righteousness exalts a nation:
but sin is a reproach to any people.
–Proverbs 14:34
Happy Birthday, America! 🙂
