A Vision Of Future Events As I See Them Coming.
Have you ever seen a tree split in two, or a house burned to the ground, all from a bolt of lightning?
How small are we as "humans" in comparison to what God has made?
How can we stand on our own against the storms of this world?
Hard questions that can only be answered from a heart of humility and humbleness to God.
The answer is basic and very simple.
We cannot stand on our own. We were never meant to stand on our own. We were created with an inherent need to search for and find the Lord.
To think we can stand apart from God is folly!
I read an interesting verse today in 1st Chronicles 21:15-17
" And David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, and in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
And David said to God, "Was it not I who gave command to number the people? It is I who have sinned and done great evil. But these sheep, what have they done? Please let your hand, O LORD my God, be against me and against my father's house. But do not let the plague be on your people."
This American nation is standing on a slippery slope. Soon the hill will give way and we will tumble down to destruction. "We the People" are making decisions that completely undermine God's authority in our lives. Just pick a subject, there are many. Remove your political view point on it, and ask the very basic question... What does God have to say?
We don't ask that question enough in the United States. We as Americans feel we can stand as a nation on our own.... Without God.... Yes even Christians do this. I catch myself doing it.
"We the People" need to fall to our knees as King David did, take responsibility for our own sin, and pray for God's forgiving mercy! Without it.... we shall surely fall into destruction!
I see this American nation like a "modern Babylon". A nation falling into all sin. Not remembering the Lord. Not doing as the Lord commands. A nation that does not care how to live a life dedicated to the Lord.
God's correction of nations is clear all through the Bible, but Revelation speaks directly to what I believe we are heading for... God's wrath and judgment.
Rev 16:18-19
And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake.
The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.
Gloom and doom, I know! But who are we to stand apart from God?
God made all things. Apart from Him, there is nothing!
Look deep in your heart, humble yourself before God in all things!
Make your political views, God's view.
And then watch the Lord rebuild our nation!
Pro 3:5-8
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
