The 4th of July, or Independence Day, is celebrated because of the United States' freedom from Britain. This National holiday is associated with fireworks, picnics, concerts, barbeques, and much more. Every year we celebrate, but do we really stop and think why. It's just another careless holiday. We get excited because we get off of work, and we get to stuff our faces and pop firecrackers. Freedom is a big deal. More so than America being free from Britain, we are free from sin. When thinking about Freedom we should all be lead to think about our Freedom that came from the cross. Before we can truly be free from anything else, we must accept the gift Christ has given us. July 4th is a great day to be thankful for all of our Freedoms, as a Nation and as individuals in our daily walk with God. Tomorrow I pray that we would all be conscious of the true meaning of this great holiday, and instead of being mindless to food, and fun really think about all we have been freed from. Have a happy 4th of July. Spend it with people you love, and together share in God's wonder.
And I'm singing for freedom
I know I'm not the only one
Praying to the one
Who can bring me this freedom
I'm ready for change
