In the US, so many families are all about celebrating
independence and national freedoms! Though we have gained a lifetime of
independence celebrated via our national flags, parades, patriotic songs and
fireworks that fill the night skies- it is equally important that we remember
our need to acknowledge our DE-pendence on an ALMIGHTY GOD!
As Christians, we are not only called to be citizens within
our community, but representatives as citizens of Heaven -responding to an
almighty God through our worship, our celebration and through being a Witness
of His Work that has given us a new found spiritual freedom. John 4:24 states,
“God is spirit, and those that worship Him must worship in the Spirit and in
truth." When we worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, we join with the
almighty host of heaven who are continually before throne of our Lord ...
worshiping Him!
John 4: also goes on
to state, "Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him….
On today, I am reminded of the great spiritual work the Lord
has done in my life – breakthrough in me, my family, and those people who are
attached to my life. 2 Corinthians 3:17 also states, “Now the Lord is the
Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (another
translation reads... "there is Liberty!")
We have great reason to celebrate and something eternal to
sing about! Think of it!
I implore you today and everyday, in addition to celebrating
our national freedom, don’t forget if you have given your life to the the King
of Kings and Lord and Lords, celebrate the spiritual freedoms awarded us
through the sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is more than worthy of
all the honor, glory, and praise due His name!
His Finished Work on the Cross was the greatest Work that we
can witness! (On any day, not just the 4th!)
