The thought keeps running through my mind that a nation of people
who show a willingness to honor God by acknowledging him as the creator of all
things and the sustainer of life itself and by incorporating into its affairs
justice, honesty, mercy and equality between men is a nation that God will show
great mercy to even though its people may be a mixture of those who are
obedient to his will and those who are not obedient. On the other hand when
sin, immorality, wickedness, and lewdness fill the hearts of the people, that
nation becomes contemptible in God's sight.
America
needs to listen to God in this matter. We have become a nation of people in
love with themselves, covetous, boastful, proud, blasphemers, unthankful,
unholy, without natural affection, liars, despisers of good, high minded and
lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God (2 Tim. 3:2-5). We call evil things
good and sometimes call good things evil (Isa. 5:23). One national news service
reporting on the marriage of a same sex couple states that the people packed
into the room jumped into a standing ovation (Rom. 1:26-27). Those works of the
flesh spoken of in Galatians 5:19-21, once so strongly taught against, have now
become so commonplace in the lives of the people in America
they are no longer viewed in horror by great masses of people. The morality of
this nation has been on a slippery slope for quite some time and has now
reached a point where adultery. drunkenness, homosexuality, lesbianism and same
sex marriage along with a host of evil practices are
not only being accepted but actually glorified (Rom. 1:22-32). Those who are
our elected and appointed leaders seem for the most part to be consumed with a
thirst for power and wealth whatever the cost may be. Surely there are a few
righteous, God fearing souls in our Congress and on our Supreme Court but where O
where are they. Why are their voices not being heard far and wide in an effort
to direct this nation down the right pathway? Why are so many of the supposedly
God fearing people of America
standing idly by watching this great nation wallow in a cesspool of immorality.
Why, O Why? In spite of her abundant blessings from
God,
America
has great sins before him. I pray that God will continue to have mercy on us
and at the same time I pray for an awakening among the people of America that
will lead us to once again acknowledge him as the creator and sustainer of life
and give to him glory and honor (Eph. 5:6-17). God fearing men and women
throughout this great nation need to be on their knees pleading with hearts of
sincerity for mercy and forgiveness. I never want to be thought of as a person
of gloom and doom but the people of America
need to wake up before the darkness of wickedness completely envelopes this
nation (Eph. 5:3-17).
To God be the glory forever and ever, Amen (2 Pet. 3:18).
