Psalm 119:46 The Psalmist says that he is confident of the Righteous and Justice Statutes of God, so confident that he is willing to speak to the national leaders of his day. Our national heritage was established by men of like-minded confidence in God. Where are they today? MEN!
Good Morning
Recently I went to the zoo with my wife and grandson, we watched a couple of elephants playing in the water. According to the elephants; life is good, splashing and playing, much like we might do if we were in the water our self. One elephant completely submerged herself which I thought was remarkable for such a large animal. Pleasure and complete satisfaction was written on the faces of these two as they enjoyed the moment.
In these days of our lives one might wish that they could experience the same kind of blissful existence, yet I see another elephant, one that we do not like. Our world is changing rapidly and we need to remind ourselves again and again that life for the average American has already changed. Our street corners are not safe, just over night in our capital city there were seven shootings… all separate incidents (unrelated). Two of the shootings were fatal.
Yet, these shootings are just a small part of a more grievous national problem. Abortion, same sex marriages, education that teaches that one does not have to be smarter than a fifth grader. Laws that become more liberal daily; not by law makers, but by greedy legislators who operate by the seat of their pants. It is a sad day in the United States of America, our leaders have no knowledge of righteousness and justice and most have closed minds to the righteous standards of God and country.
This elephant is becoming the national symbol of our prosperity as it resembles the political framework of the nation today. A symbol fully submerged in high taxes, low employment (a national blight), sinking revenue, shameful scandals, corporate crime and a national debt that is even embarrassing to a teenager if he or she took the time to notice. Yet ever so often this scandalous elephant raises it head from this polluted political water and says “all is well just leave me alone”
Before we see a famine of food in our land, we will see a famine of the Living Word of God. Oh! Oh! We see that already, don’t we! Amos 8:1-14, his vision, before destruction. Amos 9:1-10.
