We have reason to celebrate the recent news report that the Obama Administration has signed an historic Military support agreement of $38 billion with Israel. Not only should we celebrate the unprecedented amount of support but also a sense of renewed hope for our nation. The United States of America continues (in our historic tradition) as friend and ally to the only democracy in the Middle-East, Israel. This is an affirmation of our Founding Fathers intent,as well as our nation’s resolve, to lead as a free people. We understand that we must not only maintain our costly earned freedom but continue to be a beacon of light and hope for others who cherish or long for freedom from tyranny, oppression and terrorism.Freedom and and the right of human beings to worship according to the dictates of their own conscience must go hand in hand. Without this human dignity and liberty, there is no freedom.
There is another reason to celebrate this decision by our Administration. It is more than merely the human and moral tradition of our nation. It is the Biblical mandate. As someone stated, “Its God’s Foreign Policy” regarding ISRAEL. It is found in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 12. The LORD God spoke a word of promise to Abraham, which is still applicable to this very generation regarding the children of Israel. “I will bless those who bless you and will curse those who curse you”(Genesis 12:3). No nation has endured in peace and prosperity which has forgotten this promise to Abraham. We have reason to celebrate this moment of hope for our nation. May we ,who cherish “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness”, not forget even as the psalmist declared, “You have given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great”(Psalm 18:35 NKJV).
