All around the world, people worship under the cover of darkness and use code names for God to discuss Him in public places. Christians have recently been tortured and even beheaded for refusing to denounce Jesus. But in America, you are free to worship your Creator.

I will sing of your love and justice; to you, Lord, I will sing praise.

Psalm 101:1

While Christianity has certainly come under some fire in this nation, you can hop in your car on any given Sunday and drive to one of many churches open for all. You have freedom to host Bible studies in your home or pray on your back patio. You are even free, as today’s verse suggests, to sing praises to the Lord.

While criticism for this country rolls off the tongues of many, remember you are free to worship God – and that is one of the greatest freedoms of all. Pray for Americans to recognize the gift this country really is and praise God for the freedom you have to worship. Then pray for your national leaders to uphold the laws that grant you that liberty – and to find the only One who can give them pure love and true justice.
