The Woodlands, July 4 – Consider for a moment, for the first 5,000 years of recorded history, up through 1776, humanity knew nothing more than servitude and poverty. Mankind used blood letting for medicine and a stick and plow for agriculture. Then, in the course of less than 200 years America placed a man on the moon and cured regional famines and plagues. When we refer to American exceptionalism, we’re not talking about the superiority of Americans, but the exceptional blessings of freedom bestowed by a God of mercy on an undeserving people for the purpose of creating a land where humanity can love God and each other.
In 1986 Ronald Reagan said;
“To preserve our blessed land we must look to God… It is time to realize that we need God more than He needs us…
“We also have His promise that we could take to heart with regard to our country, that ‘If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’
“Let us, young and old, join together, as did the First Continental Congress, in the first step, in humble heartfelt prayer. Let us do so for the love of God and His great goodness, in search of His guidance and the grace of repentance, in seeking His blessings, His peace, and the resting of His kind and holy hands on ourselves, our nation, our friends in the defense of freedom, and all mankind, now and always.
“The time has come to turn to God and reassert our trust in Him for the healing of America… Our country is in need of and ready for a spiritual renewal.”
I wish you a joyous 4th of July and pray that you would hear God’s call to preserve liberty and to bless humanity.
