“And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it." Jeremiah 18:9-10
Our nation has been truly blessed by God. Unfortunately, the people did not continue to honor God, and have become the enemy of God. Jeremiah was a prophet called to share a message with Judah and Israel about the same issue. They left the God who brought them into the Promised Land to worship idols.
While the United States has been blessed over many years, we have reached a point where people are looking for human answers to spiritual problems. Abandoning our God for the pleasures of this world has caused our country to suffer from the unexpected results of crime waves and wanton violence. In addition to this, we have increases in homelessness, drug addiction and death from overdoses, along with a justice system willing to overlook heinous crimes, allowing the criminals to be set free to commit further crimes.
We can’t pin the blame on God for making these things happen, instead we should recognize the result can be directly attributed to the removal of God from public life, and the support of all things the Bible calls sinful behavior. These things should not cause believers in the Lord Jesus Christ to fear, but instead to be watching and waiting for the blessed hope of His glorious appearing! (Titus 2:13)
Be encouraged, the Lord will fulfill His promises just as He said he would in His word.
