Adrift

 2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!
   For the LORD has spoken:
“I reared children and brought them up,
   but they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knows its master,
   the donkey its owner’s manger,
but Israel does not know,
   my people do not understand.”
 4 Woe to the sinful nation,
   a people whose guilt is great,
a brood of evildoers,
   children given to corruption!
They have forsaken the LORD;
   they have spurned the Holy One of Israel
   and turned their backs on him.
16 Wash and make yourselves clean.
   Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
   stop doing wrong.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice.
   Defend the oppressed.[a]
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
   plead the case of the widow.
 18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”
   says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
   they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
   they shall be like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
   you will eat the good things of the land;
20 but if you resist and rebel,
   you will be devoured by the sword.”
            For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
 -Isaiah 1

"O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters."
Jeremiah 17:13

I Pledge Allegiance To The Flag,
Of the United States of America,
And To the Republic For Which It Stands,
One Nation, Under God, Indivisible,
With Liberty And Justice For All

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14


I am burdened, as you probably are,for the future of America. These scriptures,and many others, of course are directed at Israel, but apply to any nation. Here's the bottom line: the Lord God, maker of heaven and earth, the lover of our souls, will not force us into relationship with Him. This great country, founded on God's principles, has prospered, and then turned its back on God, forgetting the source of all blessings-demanding, ranting, and raving that public and national life should be devoid of anything to do with God...and He has granted that wish!
There is no hope without God, but through Him and with Him all things are possible. If we ever needed Him it's now...join me, pray that hearts would turn, and there would be a national repentance and revival...shake every thing that can be shaken, break everything that can be broken, uproot your enemies and the ungodly, and give us leaders who seek wisdom from You, not from the world system.
Come Lord Jesus!
