“On this Independence Day I am reminded of all those who have sacrificed for my freedom. Let me not take my freedom, both physical and spiritual, for granted. May I always remember that my freedoms cost others their very lives. Lord, today, bless those who serve and continue to place themselves in harm’s way for my freedom. With favor and bounty meet their needs and watch over their families. This I pray in Christ’s name, amen.” P0sted by Compassion Net of SBC

For kings, and for all that are in authority;

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
