“ENDOWED!”

July 4th isn’t just another day where we don’t have to go to work, where we celebrate at the lake or river, where we make ice cream and rejoice that we no longer live under the authority of an earthly king, but only our CREATOR!  The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America was ratified July 04, 1776 and the second sentence is perhaps the most well known of all:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are “ENDOWED” by their CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

To be “ENDOWED” is to be “furnished, as with some talent, faculty, or quality; equip:” according to one dictionary.  When ALMIGHTY GOD “ENDOWS” us with something, the only was we can lose that is to freely give it up!  We can elect to serve a GOD WHO defines FAITHFULNESS, or we can try to figure it out on our own?  Since HE is our CREATOR, I choose to serve HIM!
