Humble



"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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." -2 Chronicles 7:14

This verse is talking about the nation of Israel. Even being a covenant nation they had to obey God in order to receive His favor and blessings. The U.S. as a nation doesn't have any covenant with God. So what makes anyone in the U.S. think they can get away with living so immorally when Israel couldn't?

The U.S. murders 4,000 of it's own children every single day. It supports and even promotes everything that God hates. Adultery, lying, pornography, blasphemy, etc. People raise their children to not only love evil but they add new sins to their families, making every generation worse and worse. What we do doesn't just affect us, but generations to come that we will never even meet. We already have a generation being raised up that doesn't even know what a good stable marriage looks like, do you really think that isn't going to have repercussions in the future?

Everyone always says "God bless America" but the U.S. isn't acting in a way that will be blessed. If even Israel had to obey God, we certainly do. You want to know why everything is falling apart? The U.S. has abandoned the truth and God and in return God has abandoned this nation and left it to it's own sins, which ultimately causes destruction and an end to that nation (See Romans 1:18-32). It's happened a million times before in history with every other fallen nation, we are no different. Do not be deceived, "God is a righteous judge, a God who is angry with sinners every day." -Psalm 7:11
