Save Our Nation

In terms of our nation, we as individuals have no power.  Not one of us can turn the direction of our nation, our society, around.  But who would disagree that there has been a loosening of morality in our society today.  Our country is going through a period of tolerance, tolerance of everything, a legalization of everything.  Where we once were considered a Christian nation and took pride in such, we see now that this just isn't so.  We now are a nation of all religions, and most people feel that all are fine, all are acceptable to God, one is as good as another.

I should hasten to say here that this is a country of freedom....and certainly freedom of religion, as well it should be.  But there was a time when the predominate religion in this country was Christianity.  And those of us who understand that Christ died for us also understand that He said there was no other acceptable way to the Father.

But regardless of one's stance on the matter of a "Christian nation," it likely would be agreed by all readers that we are in a period of moral degradation.  And it would seem agreeable to say that we as individuals don't have the personal power to change this direction of our society.  We can vote, but most of us don't have political power beyond that. 

But we need to recognize that God is always in charge.  He has the power.  And we should know that there has always been a remnant; a remnant to whom God listened.  God cares about His people.  And while we don't have the power, He does.  Note this statement in 2Chronicles 7:14.

"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

The point of all of this is that we need a healing.  This country, this nation, needs a healing, needs a turn-around of major proportions.  The answer is prayer.  There are a lot of things that we cannot do, but we can pray.  And God says that prayer will make a difference.  We don't have the power, but He does......and He cares.  Join with me and offer a prayer today for our country.  Tell the Lord that we know He is in control of nations....and leaders....and powers.  He can change the direction of our country....to His glory.  We want things to change for the better so that He can be glorified.

Just as God said to Joshua, it can be so with us:  "No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.  I will not leave you nor forsake you."

Thank you for reading.  Know that you are important.
