A Nation Under Fire

A nation under fire is one under the all seeing eye of an Almighty God. A God that by His Word alone the heavens were made. For He spoke, and it was done. The eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; to deliver their soul from death, and keep them alive in famine: he is our help and our shield (Psalm 33).

This nation, when it becomes fine-tuned towards allowing God to guide its destiny will flourish, but it becomes under fire when it withdraws from His guidance. It is becoming dogmatic in its determination to be governed by a ruling party that flaunts the very existence of the Word of God.

Rocky Shores of Self-indulgence

This nation is being guided haphazardly, headed for a fall unless it returns to the God of its creation. A nation under fire has various destructive elements beating against its shores, how it fairs depends on whose its dependence is on. Have the rocky shores of self-indulgence promoted this nation's current situation?
The apostle Paul was concerned for his own country, in that they were ignorant of God's righteousness, and were going about to establish their own righteousness (Romans 10:3). Have we not assumed a likewise regard due to self-motivation, self-desire, self-righteousness, rather than that of a godly deportment? The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18).
Seed of Deception
Has the seed of deception been planted by dissecting, diluting, and altering the Word of God to suit one's own desire. The fruit of unrighteousness and consumption of ungodly material has been hastened in this late hour by various electronic means that were previous unavailable. When the fruit of unrighteousness is planted, its infectious seed spreads like wildfire promoting ungodly lifestyles. Some have separated from this ungodly material but others are consuming it and allowing acceptability to usher in.
A Sunday School commentary revealed: Things that once would have shocked Christians are now commonplace. There is little that disturbs the church like it once did. Many Christians have been lulled into believing that all is well. Where are those who will challenge the present social and moral behavior? Those who will hold their ground and are not afraid of unpopular criticism?
The Healing of a Nation
God gives an antidote towards the destructive nature of the times in which we live: If my people, which are called by my name, shall 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). It there ever was a time that a nation needed healing now is the time. A nation under fire has defected from the truth of God's Word to sow its own destructive nature. It has endorsed the ways of the world rather than the godly nature of its creator.
An unknown author wrote: Love America! But love her wisely. Work hard to cure the faults, the mistakes under which she labors. Work to bring her closer to the ideal that is the real America. Do not leave her to be ruled by a few who make it their business and profit to rule. She is yours.
