Take Heed...Our God is a jealous God ?

  Psalm 94:8-11 New International Version
 Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
 9 Does he who implanted the ear not hear?
       Does he who formed the eye not see?

 10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
       Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?

 11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man;
  he knows that they are futile. 


 
Has wisdom along with our recognition of God's part in the establishment of our country
eluded us? Have we not heard the message of hope in the Son of God who died for us? Have we not seen evidences of our God's past work and his work today?  As the Apostle Paul announced in his "treatise" to the Romans; we have no excuse for God has been revealed to us in His Creation and our conscious..


We have gone so far as to let a minority rule the very sanctity of our worship and to rewrite the history of our great land.  God granted a few men the courage and devotion necessary to declare independence from worldly king rule and to pursue a heavenly King
in quite a proper fashion.

This is not a political offering but one of major consideration for how we intend to proceed in this move to a new world order which shreds to freedoms for which are forefathers founded this country and so many have died to protect.  Do we not expect discipline from God for our lack of  "discipline".? Do we not believe in an Omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient God whose sovereignty is without question; just as His Grace is without end?  The Scriptures are replete with examples of God's forbearance.  There is another side, however. It is His Wrath.  Our God would that not even one of His children be lost, but He will allow us to choose our own way and leave us in our own depravity.
Far be it from us to presume on our God, but to recognize His sovereignty over the entire universe and to repent of our futile effort to control.  It would not be the first time that power, prestige, fame and pride has led a country down a path of ruin.
 Our thoughts are known by God  and He desires a relationship with us through His Son.  "Knowledge is Power"  is a common phrase used, especially in the corporate environment, over the past few years.  I submit that true knowledge when touched by God becomes wisdom.  To that end, I would  edit this phrase  to " the sharing of knowledge is power.  There is no better sharing than that of the Gospel Message, the Good News, of salvation by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ.



Psalm 92:6-8 (New International Version)

6 The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand, 7 that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed. 8 But you, O LORD, are exalted forever.

 Those who have taken aim at the foundation of our republic and the center of our hope
are many and they flourish by worldly standards.  We can rest assured that ours is a just and mighty God who shall reign forever and each knee will one day bow.

Psalm 14:1 (New International Version)

For the director of music. Of David.
 1 The fool [a] says in his heart,
       "There is no God."
       They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
       there is no one who does good.

 The problems of our nation and our world are complex for sure.  They require
an urgent acceptance that it will take a unified effort with all the expertise available
to extract us from the path of destruction.  If we are wise the avenue will be filled with
courageous and devoted men and women guided by a belief in the one true God... Jehovah.
By continuing the path of excluding God from our society and  replacing our Constitution with expedient political correctness; we shall hasten the day of a fallen USA.
