Due Thanks on Independence Day

On this day when we celebrate our independence and the birth of our great nation, we ought to remember who has given us these blessings.  Yes, we remember Paul Revere and his midnight ride.  We remember the Minute Men.  We remember George Washington.  But do we remember God, whose mighty hand is behind every event in history?

“He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and disposes them.  He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.”  Daniel 2:21.

Give thanks to God for raising up this great nation where we enjoy religious freedom, as well as freedom from many other evils.  The world has scarcely ever seen such peace and prosperity!  Pray that God will not let us become complacent and forget to thank him for these rich blessings.
