It Is Not Us, It Is God They Do Not Like

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Micah 4:11-12
Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion. But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

 

     Today, some countries would like to see America fall. Some feel this way because of vengeful hate or military reasons. Some feel this way because of our history of standing for the Bible and God. There have been terrorist attacks on the US, and one of the reasons given is that we are not believers in their form of religion. Even worse, there are people in the United States, citizens of this great country, who do not want us to be governed by the laws so plainly set up in scripture that have governed our country for decades.

 

     The Bible tells us a house divided against itself cannot stand. With attacks from within and without, we must wonder, how much longer can this go on? History shares how nations once gathered against Israel and rejoiced at her fall. However, God was not done with her yet. Today, the country and people of Israel are a proud nation again. Nations will gather again at Armageddon against Israel. Nevertheless, God promises to defeat them again. Fighting, anger, hate, and wars are just what a lost, sinful world does. We are told there will be wars and rumors of wars until Christ returns. So then, will America be here forever? Who knows? People cannot know the perfect will of God for a nation. Only God knows what is coming tomorrow. Maybe that is why He told us not to take thought for the things tomorrow, just worry about today. God will take care of the world according to His will. He will also take care of you if you let Him.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

       What might you do differently today if you knew there would not be a tomorrow? What might you say to that loved one or mate if you knew that tomorrow was not going to come? Why not say it today? If we begin to love one another like there was never going to be a tomorrow, who knows, it might just change the world. It will at least change yours!

 

What might you do differently today
if you knew there would not be a tomorrow?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
