Bible Verse for July 4th Devotion


Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

2 Corinthians 3:17

July 4th Devotion for Today

July 4th marks Independence Day here in America. It’s the day we celebrate freedom as a nation.

It’s my first 4th of July as the mother of a soldier. However, I’m stuck thinking about a different type of freedom. The freedom Jesus came to give us.

2 Corinthians 3:17 tells us, “the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” Christ came to set us free. Not free as a nation, but free from our burdens. Free from the enslavement of sin in our lives. Free from the depths of Hell.

It’s a freedom we can celebrate no matter where we live. A freedom that can’t be taken away.

I don’t know where this July 4th finds you, but I hope you can celebrate eternal freedom with me.

July 4th Devotional Prayer

Father God, thank You for sending Christ to die for my freedom. I am ever so thankful for the relationship I have with You. For the freedom You’ve given me. Help me never take it for granted. In the name of Your Son, Jesus, I pray; amen.
