Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls of ALL ages, this is a DAY of celebrations for our nation as we read from the Bible – Psalm 33:11-22

The counsel of the LORD stands FOREVER,

The Plans of His Heart to ALL generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The People He has chosen as His own inheritance.

Behold, the Eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His Mercy, to deliver their soul from death,
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall REJOICE in Him,

Because we have trusted in His Holy Name.

Let Your Mercy, Oh LORD, be upon us, just as we HOPE in You.

It is ridiculous to suggest that these Founders did not believe God was involved in this endeavor. John Quincy Adams, son of John and Abigail Adams and sixth president of the United States, made the profound statement on the 45th anniversary of the signing, “The highest Glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity” (July 4, 1821).

Adams’ belief in this indissoluble bond and God’s Destiny for America - taking the Gospel of the Kingdom to the ends of the earth - never waned. On America’s 61st birthday, July 4, 1837, he made the following staggering declaration, connecting the birth of our nation to the birth of Jesus Christ:

“Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? [July 4th]. Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's Mission upon earth?” (7/4/1837).

Adams was NOT equating America’s birth with Christ’s Birth; he was saying that America’s birth was for the purpose of announcing Christ’s Birth as the Redeemer of humankind. This patriot knew why God raised up America!

The signers of the Declaration of Independence understood the potential cost of their actions. This is why they ended the document with the words: “For the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of the Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

Speaking of the possible cost of freedom and declaring where he had placed his trust Sam Adams said: “We have proclaimed to the world our determination ‘to die freemen, rather than to live slaves.’ We have appealed to Heaven for the Justice of our cause, and in Heaven, we have placed our trust.”

When the Declaration of Independence was signed, Adams said it “will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward FOREVER.”

And so it is. As we celebrate this monumental day, the 249th birthday of America, I leave you with the words of Founding Father Joseph Warren, quoted by Ronald Reagan in his First Inaugural Address. Reagan shared:

“On the eve of our struggle for independence, a man who might have been one of the greatest among the Founding Fathers, named Dr. Joseph Warren, President of the Massachusetts Congress, said to his fellow Americans, ‘Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of.... On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important questions upon which rest the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.’”

Reagan continued, “Well, I believe we, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children, and our children’s children. And as we renew ourselves here in our own land, we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world. We will again be the exemplar of Freedom and a Beacon of Hope for those who do not now have freedom…”

Happy Independence Day!

Praise GOD from whom ALL Blessings flow!

Praise Him ALL creatures here below!

Praise Him above ye Heavenly Hosts!

Praise Father – Son and Holy Ghost!
