Jeremiah 27:5 It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the people and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomsoever I please.
Today is a day for celebrating... for parades and fireworks and barbecues and all the rest. Mostly it's a day to give thanks to God for the gifts that we have in living in this nation... the rights and the freedoms and the responsibilities. The search for justice and peace.
In the midst of all of that though, I hope we also remember that... as great as the United States is... as powerful as the United States is... as mighty and large and all of that... God is bigger. It seems obvious, but I think it's a helpful reminder every once in a while. God is bigger. God is first. God's great power and God's outstretched arm made the whole earth. God's love and grace covers the whole earth. God sent God's Son Jesus to the whole earth. And that is something for which we can be thankful.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
