July 4, 1776 was over 230 years ago, but the events of that day impact what we are doing right now. In the declaration of Independence these words were written:
“We think it is obvious...That all men are created equal. That they have a god given rights, that no one can take away including LIFE, LIBERTY and the Pursuit of Happiness.”
No part of the Declaration of Independence is more right than those words. Only God gives life, freedom, and the blessing of true happiness. Over 230 years ago those words were written to declare independence from oppression, however those words also declare a dependence upon God. Whether it is overcoming oppressive regimes or sin; freedom can only be found in a relationship with God. Today as we celebrate our independence as a nation, do not forget to celebrate our dependence upon the God who gives us real freedom and the blessing of His love and grace. May God bless you this 4th of July.
