The orderly way in which things are being done is a great reminder of God's law and following the order of His teachings. When we try doing things our own way, we tend to fail.
I read this in the Book of Proverbs the other day. "There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death." Our nation is definitely on a path. A path that, sadly, leads to death.
Partisan politics are the devil's invention, intended to keep us from obeying God in our laws and in our lives. How far we have fallen. And how did we get here?
"24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen." - Romans 1: 24-25
We followed our own desires rather than God's plan for our lives. So, He let us go. One day, the optimists say, we shall return to God's way of doing things as a nation, but I don't think so. We are too far gone. Yet there is hope. There is ALWAYS hope when God is part of the picture. But that's the key, isn't it?
When will we stop following our own way and follow God's. You will easily be able to tell. It will be when we allow God back into our schools and place His 10 Commandments back in our courthouses.
Don't hold your breath,
The following was written to the church in Sardis but it could easily apply to the world we live in.
"I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you." - Revelation 3:1-3
Each of us must live our individual lives for Christ. We must be holy, set apart from this world. We as a nation must repent. But we cannot do it on our own. We need God's help. We need His Holy Spirit. We must repent and bow down and pray. God is our only hope. Not us.
"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." - 2 Chronicles 7:14
So many churches are taking the power of the Cross and defiling or removing it. We need to lean into this power and lean on this power - but we first need to recognize there is power in the Cross... its by the Cross we are saved from eternal life VOID of Christ.
