“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. God maketh me to lie down in green pastures: God leadeth me beside the still waters. God restoreth my soul: God leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
Psalm 23

As I write this Positive Daily Inspiration I am looking at the flag of the United States. One nation, under God is what I think about when I see the great symbol of freedom.

America’s flag is a symbol of people seeking religious freedoms. It represents a land in which people can worship whenever and wherever they choose. It is representative of possibilities instead of oppression, opportunities instead of bondage. We are strong as a people because of our religious freedoms and independent thought.

One of my favorite Bible verses is Matthew 19:26: “With God all things are possible.” Through God’s eyes, all we see are possibilities and opportunities. I believe that God has led this country to its greatness.

The colors our forefathers chose for our flag have great meaning. Red, white, and blue represents the qualities of courage, purity and valor.

Courage is seen when humans know that God is with them, always, and is greater than any problem they may encounter. People in this great land have stood up to overwhelming adversity because they knew that God stood with them.

Purity, especially purity of thought, is the hallmark of every American. It is our mission in spirituality to have that same mind that was in Christ Jesus.

Valor is strength of character. This is something people naturally express when they allow God to flow through them.

The thirteen stripes of the flag represent the original colonies of the “New World,” each populated by people committed to a better way of life.

The thirteen colonies bring to mind twelve spiritual gifts given by God working within the one human mind, which totally consents to a higher, spiritual way of thinking. There are many more than twelve God-given gifts, but these mentioned can form a solid Christian life: Faith, love, strength, judgment, imagination, spiritual understanding, spiritual power, zeal and enthusiasm, Divine order, spiritual wisdom, life itself, and the ability to eliminate what you no longer want to be a part of your life.

The fifty stars represent the fifty different states which make up our great country and the people living in each state who turn to a God of total possibilities in times of trouble. This message will be received by people in each of those fifty states of our beloved nation.

People connect with us often, and we like to connect with them. We meet, heart-to-heart, through the Internet. We can do so because, in prayer, there are no time or space limitations. When we pray with each other, we know that we are instantly connected in God. When I see the American flag, I smile because I am reminded that I am in a country that allows such a ministry as ours to exist, I am also reminded of all the joyous connections I have made over the years.

The American flag symbolizes the Divine concept of one nation under God with the government for and by the people. The United States of America is under God’s direction and is here for and by the people. The greatness of our country has always been the sum total of the individuals contained within it. An average citizen becomes extraordinary when guided by God. It matters little what church we worship in. Religions are like spokes on the wheel leading to the one hub — God.

I am very proud of our country and I’m equally proud of its people. I am optimistic about both.

Positive Christianity is to prayer, what Washington D.C. is to America. Positive Christianity is a world capital of prayer. It is a spiritual melting pot where people of all different religions come together, just as in America. There are many different religions practiced by the people of the United States, each one with great validity, and we pray with people in each one.

As Americans, let us pause and pray, together, now:

“May each person always have the freedom to find and to explore the depths of God. May each person feel free to follow the guidance that God gives so plainly to those who listen. May this country always be a safe haven for those who are spiritually hungry. May each church always provide an open gate, a welcome in mind and heart, and a clear path to God, free of obstacles and obstructions.

May we, in America, remember the courage of our forefathers and foremothers, who came to a new land, oftentimes with nothing but faith in God. Everyone who arrived in the United States at Ellis Island had great spiritual hope packed with their personal belongings. May we, today, as Christians, join together to be the Ellis island of tomorrow’s people wanting to immigrate from living under oppressive circumstances, to the freedom of living as fully empowered children of God.

May the United States of America always be guided and directed by God and may we be the promised land, providing guidance and direction to people that are praying for a new way of life.

Dear God, we know that religion means “way of life,” and America is the best place to practice our individual faith.

As the United States is the leader of free world governments, we are also the leader of the free world of religion. May the prayers of our forefathers, for each person to be able to pray in his or her own way, be answered everyday in this oasis of world faith.

May this country always be spread out peacefully under the majestic flag. I give thanks that I live in a country where all this, and more, is possible.

In Jesus Christ’s name … Amen”

When you drive through the spiritual haven called the United States of America, and you see the flag waving high, remember all that the flag represents, and pledge your allegiance as a citizen of this great land, one nation, under God.

Happy 4th of July! God Bless America!
