Today we
celebrate America’s birth, the greatest nation on all the earth.
Once
renowned for its spiritual passion, sadly those values are now out of fashion.
The God the
founders wrote about is rejected, directed, and told to check out.
The one true
God, Creator of all, persona non grata, told to withdraw.
Could it be
America’s time is up? Has she drunk too
long from sin’s vile cup?
While spending
herself into disarray, has she squandered the resources to repay?
Will her
economy slow to a crawl? Will her house
of cards collapse and fall?
Embracing
sin and impurity is she on the path to obscurity?
What will it
take to wake this land, to turn to God while she still can?
She seems to
have lost her fear of God refusing to draw near to God?
God has been
patient through the years while the Gospel called for all to draw near.
But the less
she listens to its call the sooner, I fear, our nation will fall.
America has
known two Great Awakenings when our nation experienced spiritual shaking.
Drunks were
converted; crime went down, healing the dreadful moral breakdown.
We need to
heed God’s Word today, humble our hearts and kneel to pray.
Seeking His
wisdom, observing His will can accomplish far more than Capital Hill.
Perhaps our
God will stay Judgment’s hand, send forth the prophets to warn our land.
Perhaps our
children and grandchildren here will respond to the message, decide to draw
near.
So today
when you celebrate independence acknowledge to God that we are dependent,
Dependent
upon His mercy and grace; for guidance and wisdom to run this race.
God bless
America is our prayer. Bless all your children everywhere.
Bless every
city, small town and farm. Draw near O God; keep us from harm.
