Ps. 29:1-2 Pointing

Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.

This weekend, we take the time to remember those that have given their lives. This freedom that we have is all I've ever known. As I approach this weekend, I fight apathy, and I hate that I do. It's so distant from me, and I do not want it to be.

Another thing strikes me. We have this great country because of the sacrifice of many. We have the sacrifice of many, because it was a gift from God. Why has God poured out blessings on this country? Because of those faithful praying saints of old? The strive for holiness from days gone by? Or was it just that He, "....will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy."

I'm not sure if God has removed His hand of blessing or not. I do know that there was a time in near history that it didn't seem awkward to say, "God has truly blessed us," and expect a nod of agreement. Has the evolutionary atheist mind set truly been that indoctrinated?

Why not point to God this weekend? Why not "ascribe the glory due his name." Remind people that God has blessed our nation, and continue to seek his favor on our government in domestic as well as foreign affairs.

THE LAMB IS WORTHY!
