1 Peter 2:17(NIV)
17 Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of
believers, fear God, honor the emperor.
On this Independence Day we should be on our knees thanking
God for all He has given us. The United States is a country in which everyone
has an equal opportunity. Thank God for a country where there is no caste or
class to keep a man from going to the top. If a man has a will to work and
study, he can go ahead regardless of his background. In addition, thank God, He
has given us freedom of religion. Whatever you may believe, no one can close
your church because your religion does not coincide with his. A few people
meeting in a small, out-of-the-way shack, worshiping God as they believe in
Him, have the same right to religious freedom as the people who worship God in
the great cathedrals on the avenues of our greatest cities.
Thought for today:
Do I show respect on a regular basis?
