A Daily Devotional –Thanksgiving – The Eternal Word
Comment: As a people group and not as
citizens of a great nation, we ought to LISTEN to our complaint. Now of course I
do not mean to listen with respect to our lack of thankfulness, but we ought to listen as in the days since 1954 when President Eisenhower through Congress approval added
two words and one capital letter to the “Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of
the United States of America”.
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United
States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Devotional: The
battle or the internal struggle to destroy the freedom of ‘life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness in our beloved nation can be seen in the struggle to
keep our allegiance to the flag the United States pointed at; Thanksgiving” to
God who keeps our nation free. The struggle is intense even to this very day.
There are some who would be appeased if the words were change to, “many people
groups under the gods” and there are others would be happy with the words; “a
nation devided by the many”.
In fact, just writing about national allegiance and
citizenship these days, angers many, since their direction is do what is right
in their own eyes. Even many who claim a personal relationship with God seek
their rights over what is TRUE. Well to all of us I simply say “In two days we
will celebrate ‘Thanksgiving Day’.
Should we toss this day to the gutter since Truth no
longer matters? Many already have, yet there is a remnant that remains FAITHFUL
to God and Country and we shall not we join the others! I understand that if
you look at a battlefield such as this; “that is Wikipedia” or other current
writings you will find reasonable arguments for both the pros and the cons regarding
national ‘integrity’. Guess what? If you look and consider this ‘human
viewpoint as truth’ you are the FOOL. Instead… we ought to believe God.
A study of Romans 13:1-14 is a good start and you
might finish up your study with Ecclesiastes 8:1-17. Happy Thanksgiving to ALL
and God bless your day.
