I hope everyone is doing well and safe.
As I write this, I am watching folks on TV and radio who have had
enough! Protests around the county, including one right here in Montgomery,
featuring our very own Will Dismukes as a speaker!
Much like our Confederate ancestors, these men and women of today have
decided that they will exercise their rights to protest the ever over-reaching
arm of the government. As Genesis 48 reminds us, we do indeed have a “Godly
Heritage.”
In keeping with God’s word, Galatians 5:1, we are told that, “It is for
freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be burdened
again by a yoke of slavery.”
Do not have a sense of fear. Over 150 years ago, Southerners, who had had
enough of a terrible tyrannical government, went off to war with a desire to
fulfill the promise of God to be free and protect their homes, families, and
communities.
In the poem, The Love of Dixie, Orion T. Dozier reminds us how it is a
gift from God to live in Dixie:
Then suddenly, as the lightning’s light,
Dispels the darkness of the night,
My grief has fled, my cares had sped,
The world was bright, my heart was light,
And from my very soul I said:
“I’m glad I live in Dixie.”
May God continue to watch over you and your families and protect you
all.
And may God save the South!Remember those on our prayer list.
