HAVE MERCY ON OUR NATION LORD

For such a time as this, I chose this title to blog.  Our nation and it's people should consider moving closer to GOD. Turning back to HIM.  Looking in the Old Testament at Israel and it's tribes at the times it moved away from GOD and began serving  and worshipping other gods, disaster came down upon them. Their enemies attacked them, carried them off into slavery, many were killed, and their land and crops failed. They were outside the will of their Creator. When they cried out to GOD their Creator, HE had mercy on them and compassion for them and GOD rescued them from the enemy.  They would change their ways and stayed close to GOD, and worshipped no other gods.  But then, as time went by, they again moved away from the Creator and began worshipping other gods, false idols, images of Baal and whatever else was the latest detestable thing at the time, and yeah you guessed it disaster hit again.  GOD's people turned from Him time after time after time and each time, their enemies swooped down on them and prevailed in whatever thing they did to them.  Even the enemy said to them "Your God has abandoned you into my hands".  Imagine that?  But they would repent and turn back to GOD and HE would have mercy on them and things would improve.  Our nation has chosen to move away from GOD Almighty, taking HIM out of everything, even banning prayer and speaking HIS Mighty Name, now look at us. Our enemy may not be an obvious one. Once we were a country that carried the Blessing, Leadership and Favor that the founding Fathers prayed to GOD ALMIGHTY for when this nation was born, and the rockets red glare gave proof that our nation was still there, One Nation under GOD un -divide-able. Why?  Because GOD said a house divided cannot stand. One GOD, One SON, One HOLY SPIRIT all means ONE GOD!! GOD ALMIGHTY, Creator of Heaven, Earth, Everything.  Have mercy on our Nation LORD. Our Nation needs to move closer, better yet, turn completely back to GOD ALMIGHTY. We must allow GOD back into our homes, schools, churches, businesses, families, lives and most important among these our mouths.  Yes, talk GOD up, speak to Him, through Him, about Him, for Him. David knew this power and GOD told Joshua this is the way to have good success.  Think about that a bit. ponder, ponder. Our nation took GOD out of everything and look at the results.  Right here I will step out and say don't focus on the messenger, but what is the messenger saying.  Could there be some  truth to this? Who sent this message? How should I respond? All these are questions you would have if WU, FedX, Brown truck people, USPS, memo from the higher - ups or Voicemail, etc delivered you a message.  Most assuredly  GOD is as important, howbeit more important than these and HE uses whomever HE chooses.  GOD is our only hope of survival. HE was Israel's only hope of survival and they came to know it eventually. We too will realize it eventually so that we can confidently sing ' God Bless America" and know that HE will.  Have mercy on our Nation LORD.
