Me-Maw Thoughts
Number 794
June 30, 2026//
In a few days we will celebrate the Freedom of our nation. We all understand that many have died to let us continue to be one nation under God! We fly the flag and repeat the pledge, either not thinking about what we are saying or with a grateful and sincere heart for all those who have gone before us and stood in the gap.
As I was growing up when we had Vacation Bible School, we would say the pledge to the U.S. Flag, the Christian Flag, and the Bible! Many still do that today.
The first is about our country, and the second and third about who and what really brings freedom.
Yes, we are Blessed in our nation to be able to worship our Lord God Almighty the way we desire, and we can own as many Bibles as we can acquire, but that does not make us free!
We can sit in a church and hear about our creator and His love for us and be more imprisoned than if we were in a jail or prison cell!
It is receiving the truth of all that Jesus did as He paid for our sins: past, present, and future! And He tells us He leaves us with Peace, power, and the freedom to be all we were created to be!
For your meditation, I want to print these three pledges here! Please read them with a heart open to hear with the ears to really listen as we all think about the cost of all kinds of FREEDOM!
THE PLEDGE OF ALLIGENCE TO THE AMERICAN FLAG!
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
THE PLEDGE TO THE CHRISTIAN FLAG!
**There are two versions of this. Both have an eternal message in them!
“I pledge allegiance to the Christian Flag and to the Savior for whose Kingdom it stands;
one brotherhood, uniting all mankind in service and in love.”
“I pledge allegiance to the Christian Flag and to the Savior for whose Kingdom it stands.
One Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again with life and liberty to all who believe. Amen.”
THE PLEDGE TO THE BIBLE!
“I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God’s Holy Word.
I will make it a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path,
and I will hide its words in my heart that I might not sin against God.”
In this weekend of celebrating not only the Freedom of our nation, but that we have had this freedom for 250 years, may we truly understand and celebrate the God of our fathers who stepped out in Faith and who Loved God and His word an based our original constitution on the Bible.
With out Christ and the Bible America would not exist and our true freedom deep in our hearts would not be possible.
May we put this verse into practice:
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
I encourage you to give allegiance to the one who has set us truly free and worship and praise Him every day, not just on July 4th!

Father, thank you for giving us freedom from fear, doubt and negative thoughts and despair within! You fill us with peace and set us free to be all we were created to be! On this a week of celebrating the United States of America, we want to give you Praise and Adoration for real freedom deep inside! I ask this in the might name of Jesus’! Amen!
Love! MeMaw!
