Happy Independence Day! The Psalmist reminds us that when we live as God would have us live, then we are "like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither." Living as God desires for us leads to abundant life. Not just for us, but for all!
Collect for the Nation from the Book of Common Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, you have made all the peoples of the
earth for your glory, to serve you in freedom and in peace:
Give to the people of our country a zeal for justice and the
strength of forbearance, that we may use our liberty in
accordance with your gracious will; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
