But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another

Psalm 75:7

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

I have thought a lot about the outcome of the 2012 presidential election. Many Americans prayed for a different outcome many worked hard giving their time money and efforts in hopes of seeing a different leadership in America. But in the end nothing really changed those in charge remained the same as it has been for the past four years. It appears that we will have the same bad government making bad decisions for America the next four years.

Why is this I thought? Did not God hear our prayers? Did not God see that what is happening in our government is hurting and destroying our country? Does not God see the division of our peoples? And does He not care that we need a president and government body that will unite our country and lead us in the direction that is best for all of us?

As I read my Bible and meditated on its words I heard the voice of God speaking deep inside me saying, Yes I heard your prayers, yes I see how the division in America is breaking your heart, yes I care about all the people I created and America that I raised up and set a bright shining light of hope among the peoples of the world.

I have richly blessed America above all the nations of the world an example of all the good I shower upon people who love me and live by my word.

But my people have not done as  I have asked them to do. Have not I promised, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

In past generations when Israel the first of God’s chosen nations rebelled against the word of God lived in sin and became wicked. God in His great love for them punished them in order to turn them back to righteous lives.

All nations that have forgotten God and His righteous laws have paid a terrible price of great cost while living in their foolish and sinful ways.

The Holy Bible tells us of some of the punishments God used to bring His people back into a right relationship with Him.

1.      There are Evil and bad Kings ruling over them

2.      There are Storms and frightening weather conditions.

3.      There are Earth quakes.

 

4.      There are Destroyed economies

5.      There are ruthless enemies defeating them in battle bringing them into captivity and slavery.

Are we so blind that we cannot see these things happening in America right now!

Would it not be better if we as a nation repented and returned to a right relationship with God who loves us, but must punish us because He hates sin and cannot stand the sight of wickedness?

Would it not be better if we returned to the blessings and prosperity of the greatest nation in the world rather than than receiving Gods judgment, punishment and curse along with the rest of this ungodly world?

You may live any way you want you may do anything you choose God gave you that right.

I’m just here to tell you that nothing will get better in America until we repent of our sins and return to a right relationship with God!!!

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
