Yesterday our nation had the privilege of honoring and celebrating what is considered to be the beginning of our nation’s birth – the 4th of July. We have been a nation blessed beyond measure. It has not been a worry free history by any stretch of the imagination. Our sin nature has resulted in many poor decisions and wars that could and should have been avoided had all of humankind not rejected our creator in the first place. Despite all of this, look at how pampered we are as a people. To take note of the majority of the world and look at us living in nice homes, air conditioning, heating, plumbing, etc no one should deny that we have been blessed.
What causes a nation to reject and move in the opposite direction of the One who blessed it so? My guess is its own arrogance. We are smarter. We can do more. We see what direction our nation is headed and most of us are dragging our feet and praying for a repentant country. Do not give up. Keep praying. Keep seeking God. Keep trusting in His mercy while understanding He is also holy. He is our only hope.
Next week I will not be posting as I will be traveling with part of my family. Blessings to all of you!
