A Nation That God Will Bless

Many politicians today make promises to fix the problems in our country. But I believe that the root cause is a moral problem! Because “sin is a reproach to any people” (Prov 14:34). Therefore, every person who enjoys the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in America can have a part on the solution, which requires us to get in a real relationship with God (1 Ki 8:60). People can blame the media and the politicians. But the wicked choices in the past, such as the removal of prayer and God’s word from public education, has already been made. And we are now reaping what was sown (Gal 6:7)!

Real revival can happen if the people will “humble themselves, and pray, and seek God’s face, and turn from their wicked ways” (2 Chr 7:14). Since God is in control of everything (v. 9), including all the politicians and judges (Rom 13:1), we can actually have an influence over all the legislative and judicial decisions of our nation through the power of prayer (Jms 5:16). We need to persuade God rather than man (Acts 5:29)! He can put down a nation or a ruler by simply destroying the “deceiver” (v. 16). Sadly, numerous deceptions today are being promoted by the wicked through Artificial Intelligence (AI). They have developed AI systems with the ability to present false information unbeknownst to users. The only way that we can discern if they are not telling the truth is with the Bible (Heb 5:14).

Job said that “He leadeth counsellors away spoiled.” When God judges a nation that has forgotten Him (Ps 9:17), the politicians and their wealthy supporters who thought they were in control, would suddenly find themselves led away “spoiled” or their possessions taken (Josh 11:14)! God has not yet destroyed America because many bible-believing Christians are continually praying for her and for “all that are in authority” (1 Tim 2:2); and we are still supporting Israel (Gen 12:3). He blesses a nation “whose God is the Lord” (Ps 33:12)! God bless you!
