There is a clear covenant implied in our declaration of Independence-a covenant between God, the People, and the Government. When we, the People turn our hearts to God more than to our government or to ourselves, His Providence increases our personal wisdom and decreases our government dependence. We are individually and collectively freed.
Mr. Veselka’s painting was produced as a theme-bound set together with Choose ye this Day. Our choice is also a covenant today. Like a holy marriage, the covenant is between God, the people and the government. Only this covenant has power to preserve liberty and the life of prosperity and happiness we have long enjoyed. It is easy to see our self in this painting, but more important to see our self in this covenant. This marriage, in our day, is failing; the best hope of reconciliation is to put God back into the relationship. The religious leadership of America must lead! Our forgotten founding document, the Declaration of Independence re-establishes the relevancy of religion, puts God back into the relationship and again must become a part of our government if our nation as a constitutional republic is to be saved.
