DEAR USA
Today's reading: Deuteronomy 4-6
"If you obey them carefully, you will display your wisdom and intelligence to the surrounding nations. When they hear about these laws, they will exclaim, What other nation is as wise and prudent as this!" Deuteronomy 4:6 NLT
Dear USA,
Get out your Bibles!
Drag them out of the closets where you've stored them. Dust them off and crack open the pages.
If we're going to elect a 'king' to govern our great land, a set of judges who can rule fairly, a Congress that represents our beliefs and the truth well, then we need to turn to our Bibles.
If we want to retain the title of greatest nation in the world and make other nations stand in awe of our land--we have to begin obeying the words of the Lord.
Not the laws of our land.
Not the rulings of a few courts.
Not the preferences of minorities living in sin and blindness.
We have to obey the laws of God in order to display our wisdom and intelligence to the world.
We've fallen into such a state that other countries are having to bail us out, what a shame!
We're being seen as a nation that has run amuck, so sad!
We've forgotten the godly principles our nation was founded upon, how dare we!
But we can make a comeback. We can regain face. We can restore our brokenness. We can mend party lines. We can grow and prosper and impact and rule.
We can open our Bibles and let its words govern our hearts!
Then we can stand back and be applauded by those wanting to follow our lead--and follow our Leader!
