As we consider the freedoms we enjoy do you ever stop to think about why some people have a problem with certain expressions of faith in the Lord?
Our currency has the expression “In God We Trust” printed on it simply because, as a nation, we were founded on biblical principles and most of the founders believed in God. The Pledge of Allegiance, an oath of loyalty to the flag and republic of the United States of America, have the words “Under God” added because the Gettysburg Address contained that phrase.
My point is that God, to us as a nation, has always been important.
I do understand that there are people who do not believe in God as I do and that is their freedom to do so. On the other hand, my question for people who do not believe in God, why does it matter if we still have money printed with those words, or why are you bothered by the words under God in the pledge, if you do not believe in a God?
2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
Understanding comes from the Lord for spiritual things so I cannot fault those who do not believe as I do but we do know that there is enough evidence of God that no one has an excuse not to believe.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.
So to the people who are offended by public displays of the Ten Commandments I ask why?
If there is no God and no meaning derived from such wonderful lessons taught through the Ten Commandments, why would you oppose then being displayed? The answer may be as simple as this: Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
My faith in the Lord allows me to discern that all people have an understanding that there is a God and that He desires for them to come to Him for salvation. But people being people resist the Lord and miss out on the blessing of peace through knowing the Savior.
My prayer is that more people know the Savior and accept His gift of salvation.
