God, a faithful God

In reflecting on the men who gave their lives for the freedom of America, I can’t help but think how God has honored them.

Not all the men who fought and labored for this free country were Christians; however, there were many who loved the Lord their God with all their hearts, minds, and souls. And they fought for the righteousness of God and for His truth. They fought because they loved their Creator and they would have a country that was free to honor Him and follow Him with all their hearts. So many died. So many shed their blood for this cause. And I cannot help but reflect upon how God has honored them. He has lifted up their cause and given them a nation full of people that are free to worship Him any time and in any place and in any way they want. He has given them America. And He has blessed her, not only with freedom, but with security. He has made her a land of plenty. He has poured out bountiful blessings upon her the likes of which our Christian forefathers couldn’t have imagined. Oh, how He has honored them! Oh how He has lifted up their namesake, the cause for which they gave their lives.

And His truth, the Bread of Life, is with in arms reach of any one who would reach out for it; His salvation easily accessible to any one who would seek after it—and this, without fear of persecution. Yes, He has honored their wishes and blessed them abundantly. Their God, our God, is a faithful God indeed.
