Is This the America I Love?

 
It's celebration time again here in America, only this time people are gearing up for a big holiday weekend before the fourth of July actually arrives.

Although gathering with friends and family is part of our holiday (you can read about that here), having religious freedom is the main reason we love being American citizens.  However, I'm not so sure that this nation that I love believes in freedom, religion or God anymore.

The American dream of being free included serving God and sharing our witness with others, yet it is becoming harder and harder with each new day.  It's time to turn the clocks back and take a look at what being independent and free really means.

From the way things look right now, one would never know that Christ was a name above all names spoken in America.  It's time to return to our covenant between God and nation if we are to receive His blessings and favor on our land as we have in the past.

My prayer for America and every nation on the earth ...

"May God be merciful and bless us.  May His face smile with favor on us.

May Your ways be known throughout the earth, Your saving power among people everywhere.

May the nations praise You, O God.  Yes, may all the nations praise You.

Let the whole world sing for joy, because You govern the nations with justice and guide the people of the whole world.

May the nations praise You, O God,  Yes, may all the nations praise You.  Then the earth will yield its harvest and God, our God, will richly bless us.

Yes, God will bless us, and people all over the world will fear Him." (Psalm 67 NLT)

Read Return to Covenant for more insight and what July 4th is like in my family.

If this has touched you in any way, please share it with others and social media as you pray for all nations to fear the Lord and return to God.

Until next time, Favored Blessings of Freedom
