“I will pursue them with war, starvation, and disease, and all the nations of the world will be horrified at what they see. Everywhere I scatter them, people will be shocked and terrified at what has happened to them. People will make fun of them and use their name as a curse.” Jeremiah 29:18
How long will the Lord allow this nation to rail against Him in epidemic proportions and to abound in sin? How long will He allow fence sitting, not committed to one side or the other pushing the threshold of His patience? I’d rather the Lord pursue me in love with blessing and provision for my obedience and having sought His will for my life than to have Him pursue me in anger because I’ve been disobedient and spurned Him time and time again.
This nation’s been great because of our foundation on God and His word. We’ve set the pace for progress and prosperity for centuries. So long as we adhered to God’s providence no country could compare, but what we’re seeing now is corrupting and undermining everything that’s set us apart. We’ve become a joke to every nation, no longer respected or feared and now financially beholding to weaker nations.
We’re weak and morally bankrupt. Freedoms and rights are afforded to immorality, yet the freedom of our faith is under attack because God’s truth brings conviction. This will not go unpunished. God’s blessing and covering is being removed from this nation because of a systematic disassociation from Him. We suffer not from epidemic global warming, but epidemic global sinning.
It’s time believers walked as never before in order to show those who don’t believe there’s a different way to live so they’ll hear Jesus call and answer yes. Today is the day of salvation; tomorrow is promised to none.
