Bible Verse of the Day Tuesday July 4th, 2023

Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

July 4th is a day that we, as a nation here in the United States, celebrate our freedom from an oppressive hold on us from the King of England. It was not the day we received our freedom; that only happened when British General Charles Cornwallis formally surrendered 8,000 British soldiers and seamen to a French and American force at Yorktown, Virginia, on February 25th, 1781, bringing the American Revolution to a close.

Who is the God of our society and our country? Indeed, our God is the Lord, Our Savior Christ Jesus. Whether the people of any country realize it or not, there is only one God. However, all nations do not worship Him as their God; too many replace the one true God will worthless Idols. However, He will respond if we respond and humble ourselves and seek Him and Him alone. Our country falls short of being one nation under one God. However, we can pray for revival to sweep our nation and repent to God for not holding Him up as first in our lives. God has promised that He will respond if we humble ourselves and seek Him.

Everyone who knows Jesus as their Lord and Savior has been born into the Family of God, regardless of their country. It begins when we die to ourselves and our old life and enter the second birth. To sincerely follow God's plan, we must know who we are. If we have experienced the second birth, accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and surrendered our lives to Him, heart, mind, and spirit. Body and soul, we are then part of God's eternal family. We have a new Home in heaven that will never deteriorate, and we will live eternally with the one that made it possible for us to be there, our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus. He has promised to respond if we humble ourselves and seek him. Let's do that beginning today!
