It is good to give thanks to the LORD!

This past Sunday, we looked at Psalm 92, which reminds us it is good and right to give thanks to God! As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of our nation tomorrow, we should give thanks to God for the blessing of the freedoms we enjoy. We are thankful for a country founded on the truth that there is a God and that the only way to live in freedom and peace is to live God’s way in God’s world. As you give thanks to God for the blessing of living in a country with these freedoms, ask Him to help us steward those freedoms well by:

Praying for those in authority over us
Exercising our rights as citizens by voting for those who will govern according to the truth of God's Word and not the opinions of man
Freely sharing the Gospel with those around us who don’t yet know Jesus

As you thank God for our national freedom, also thank Him for the freedom and eternal life He has given to us through faith in Jesus - a freedom that no person or government can ever take away!

Gratefully,

Pastor Randy
