Is Our Nation Beyond Repair? - Part 3

This is part 3 of yesterday’s post)

We are all to painfully aware that our nation is in trouble. We are infected with the diseases of materialism, pride, self focus, carnal pleasures and antipathy. As long as things don’t shake our little world we have remained in our cocoons blissfully unaware of what is going on around us.

Sadly, this is a description of God’s church, Jesus’ bride. Our nation is the barometer of how the church is responding to Jesus and living the lives that God calls us to live. A wake up call has been sounded. It’s been clamoring for several years now. God has been lavishly pouring out his intimate presence and now it’s time to realize that there is a price tag that goes along with this precious gift.

We are required to give our all in return. We must turn our eyes away from ourselves and seeking our own pleasure. Our nation is at stake. We need to get down on our knees and repent for living our own way for so long. We need to repent for not being the influence on this nation that we were meant to be. Mostly we need to repent for turning our backs on our loving God that created us.

We are now paying the price of our folly. The nation is at a point of being mortally wounded. At this point we deserve what we get. Thankfully God is bigger than us and is not shaking in his boots in fear and trepidation. He has a plan and it will come to pass. All that we have to do is decide if we want our nation back and do we want in on what God is doing.

I don’t believe the road will be easy. It will take every ounce of belief and trust in Jesus that we have. “ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9) Scripture says it best. Now we just have to have the guts to do it.
