This morning, as I do every morning, I left the house while it was still dark. I packed my things, let our dogs out and got in my car. Before I got to the second stop sign I heard the radio announcer introduce a kindergarten class from a local school to say the pledge of allegiance.
I listened as these cute kids said it in their ever sweet voice "I pwwedge alliegiance..." I smiled as they said it in unison. I wondered why people don't start off with that every morning. We say it at school and believe me I make my kids stand up, face the flag and repeat the pledge.
As I continued listening, I heard "...and to the repubwic for which it stands one nation, honor God..." Wait! Did I really hear that? Honor God? It should be "one nation, under God" but because these guys still have their baby voice, it sounded like "honor God" and that could not be more true right now.
How amazing if our country took a stronger stance and honored God in our decisions, actions and life. It begins at the top. As a country we are so busy being "tolerant" that we are compromising many of our core values and beliefs. As is evident even here in our own city, we dilute the Word of God and honoring Him becomes more foreign.
I love my country but it's time to remember that we are "one nation, under God" and as such we must strive to Honor God!
If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
