The Title of Liberty

 

Today, I am fasting and praying for our nation.  I'm praying that God-fearing people will fear God more than man and vote their values.  Never has an election had more hanging in the balance.  As an ancient military leader once said as to why he was fighting an evil enemy:

And it came to pass that he rent his coat; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it— In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children—and he fastened it upon the end of a pole.  And he fastened on his head-plate, and his breastplate, and his shields, and girded on his armor about his loins; and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coat, (and he called it the title of liberty) and he bowed himself to the earth, and he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land - (Alma 46: 12, 13)

 

May we all have his courage.
