Arrogance In America

  As I have watched the news and listened to people while I am out shopping or going for a walk, I hear so much negative.  Everything is about people and their wants and the belief that we owe them a living and a happy life. Very little care for the sick or hurting in the world. America has been so blessed in the past. We have been free to live the way we choose. But with freedom come responsibility to share how those freedoms came to be. It is the brave men and women of this country that have fought and many have died, over the past generations to make sure we have freedom. Today the military is looked down on and pushed aside as if they have no value. We have done the same to God. We demand our rights and freedom to live as we choose with no regard to why or how those freedoms are there for us. It cost Christ everything to purchase our freedom but how many truly care! How long will God tolerate the arrogance in America before he says "Enough".


                                                     Arrogance In America

     How long will God tolerate the arrogance in America? Jobs are being lost and the country is in debt. Look at what is happening to families now! To often both husband and wife have lost their jobs. Some families are living on the streets. How arrogant to think it can't happen to me. Who is their God now?
     What would happen if our great country became like a 3rd  world country. No jobs, no food, no medication, no water. No one to care; because it is the same for everyone. How would we see God then? That he has failed us, he is not there for us. He doesn't care that our children are starving?
    Many look down on those with less than we have, especially 3rd world countries. There they are fighting wars, famine, abuse, no water, no work for anyone. Very few homes and families living together. Children raising younger siblings because both parents have died. Do we look down on the man and think they have no value or worth because they are not providing for their family? How arrogant we are. But for the grace of God that could be America, now or in the future. What will it take for us to bend our knees to Almighty God?
     We look to ourselves to provide for our families. Prayer requests are for the job of our choice. A nice place to live. We don't ask God to provide our needs but to give us our wants. Sadly, to often we have little time to even thank God for what he has done and for what he has given us.
     What would we do, if we had to totally depend on God for everything, moment by moment? Could wee do it? We are called to be his disciples, the fields are ripe for harvest, are we sharing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with our hurting nation? We are to be obedient, to love, to share the gospel message. As the disciples of two thousand years ago, we are to depend on God for all our needs. Are we arrogant enough to believe that God will not strip America of everything to get our attention? Revival must begin in the hearts of the believers. We cannot wait for it to start with someone else, it must start with me and you. Is God calling you to revival? I must ask. am I being called and how will I answer?


     II Chronicles 7:14
     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.
