A Thought for the Day – 081 – Birthright!
Today if you are seen by the world as blameless or undefiled
as Psalm 119:1 and 2 challenge us to be, we are thought of as “old fashioned or
to the extreme; cultish”. This thinking I believe is the fault of being liberal
with the training our young. We as a nation have not guarded the soul of our
young and we are reaping the results of Proverbs 22:5-8.
Comments and challenges
On Tuesday I began lamenting over
our Nation’s failing foundation and on Wednesday I complained about those
para-legal and para-church organizations that sincerely seek to bail out the
American Way by extracting donations from the few Americans that are left with
a dollar or two in their pocket after the federal and local governments get
their portion to run their declining efforts to rescue their empires from the
sinking sand.
Today I briefly want to help us
see that power in human government and power in human wisdom will always fail
to produce the necessary freedoms that this Nation once enjoyed. Again, many of
us know that the hand writing of major change is written on the wall. I would
say however that the majority of people in the United States of America do not CARE
and simply laugh. But for the moment if you are one of these people… STOP! LOOK
and LISTEN for the wall is falling.
Malachi 1:1-5 – As a nation we
have replaced our God with idolatry in the worship of other gods. God has had
enough of our ill worship. As a nation we are like Esau who sold his “BIRTHRIGHT”
for a little welfare soup and a socialistic piece of bread. I am not going to
spend much time on this, but you can search out these matters on your own and
if you are serious with God about this, He will be serious and answer you. In Romans
9:6-13 the apostle Paul explains Israel’s rejection of God’s Purpose of
overseeing the nation. I like his statement… “They are not all Israel, who are
Israel” and like him I say; “we are not all citizens of the United States of
America who are claiming to be citizens”
Malachi 1:6-14 – Our offerings to
mend the nation are polluted, many of our secular donations fall into the hands
of men and women who say all the right things but actually do all the wrong
things. In other words their efforts even if connected to a biblical priority
fail to achieve renewal and are wasted in compromise. God is wearied with our
desire to throw our resources on the fires of evil and watch as these are burnt
up in offerings to mend our failing secular humanism.
Malachi 2:1-9 – There have always
been many “religious” and “idolatrous” factions that have a common goal to
destroy the “One God” who is the Author and Finisher of FAITH. The priests of
these corrupt beliefs have taken this United States of America and made it full
of injustice as the Law of Truth cannot be found in their messages. Their messages
are corrupting our cities and towns with terror; like that of Dearborn, MI.
Malachi 2:10-17 – We are not becoming
a nation of treachery and infidelity; we ARE a nation of treachery and
infidelity. It is time to face up to our failure and call out to God. God is
the Author of OUR INDEPENDENCE. Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your
heart as in the days of Malachi or as in the days of the wilderness journey of
Israel. In God’s anger we will not find peace only His wrath. We as a nation
need to repent; this very moment in time we need to seek His Rest from all of
this. Hebrews 3:1-19.
Now I know that I have rapidly
traveled through the first two chapters of Malachi and missed much of the
challenge that is presented to Israel over their idolatry and sin, and ours as
a nation too. But we as a nation have wronged ourselves by not seeking God in
these matters of freedom and liberty. Simply put… the most educated man or
woman cannot successfully govern this nation, or any other nation without the
Help that God provides, all we need to do is seek HIM with the whole HEART
(SOUL).
We need to stop robbing God, now I
am not talking about “money” God does not need money or any of our natural
resources… HE OWNS IT ALL and the bottom line to this; just look around! We have
tossed our sons and daughters in the fires of abortion and sacrificed them to
demons. We have tossed our educated young into the hands of immorality, making
them immorally minded. We have tossed our income into the surveys of
meaningless venues that have little to do with restoration and lastly; we have
polluted our sanctuaries with marriages that are an abomination to God. These
meaningless and evil efforts ROB GOD of His ability to BLESS THE NATION, God in
His Mercy says this: REPENT – Malachi 3:8-12, yet some will answer from a
hardened heart and say NO! As those in Malachi 3:13-15.
I hope your day is a prayerful one
from a heart that seeks true INDEPENDENCE! Good Day!
