“And in that day you will say: ‘Praise the LORD, call upon His name; Declare His deeds among the peoples, Make mention that His name is exalted.’” Is12.4 NKJV
Yesterday, many Americans raised a flag in celebration, of our birthday as a nation. My neighbor has flown Old Glory everyday since 911, not only as an expression of national pride but of his loyalty to it.
People often feel the need to declare their loyalties. We express this need as an American or from whatever country we come. Christian too feel this need. Our best witness whether to our neighbor or to the nations in not in peddling our religious beliefs like a used car salesman. Our words are like the flying of a flag. Flying the flag does not make one a good American nor does talking about Christ make one a good Christian. The flag is only as good as that for which it stands. We best declare our devotion to Christ in the way we live each day and in our service to others. In this way we exalt the blessedness of living under His reign. Let me raise the flag of my faith without shame but let me honor it everyday in the way I live. 7/5/07 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
