Independence Day

Independence Day

“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.” 

(Exodus 15:1-4)

Today’s Morsel:  Here in America, today we celebrate Independence Day.  It is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States on July 4, 1776.  The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain and were now united, free, and independent states.  Thomas Paine put it best when he said, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”  When God delivered Israel from Egypt, it was a Day of Independence.  They were no longer enslaved to them.  Do you remember the day that Jesus made you free?   If you want to remain free and enjoy true independence, then you must obey His Word.

Sing: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.  He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on.

Glory, glory, hallelujah; Glory, glory, hallelujah, His truth is marching on.

Thought For Today: The truth shall make you free.
