Like a vapor the Word says of our lives are and lately I feel just like that.
May took me to Israel with Precept Ministries on the trip of a lifetime thanks to a gift from my sweet Mother. She's known how much I wanted to visit there for years and made that possible for me this year.
I can't say this enough - save your money and go - it is safe and every Christian should visit the Holy Land...you will never be the same.
The Bible is alive everytime I read it now...I can picture where we were and the marvelous things I saw and experienced...
June brought Deeper Still to Atlanta with Priscilla Shirer, Kay Arthur and Beth Moore and 19,000 women filled Phillips arena sharing in the Word and hearing from Ms. Kay about where our country is headed if we don't get on our knees and surrender our sin to our Holy God. It was an eye-opening day for many people. I hope that what was heard fell "on ears that will hear". America has fallen in love with sin and it's follies....and God clearly tells us in Ezekiel 14 starting in verse 12:
The word of the Lord came to me. "Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its men and their animals, even if these three men -Noah, Daniel and Job - were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD." you read the remainder of the chapter to find out just how God will deal with a country that sins against Him....
Have we sinned against God? I don't think there are many who would even try to argue that case. It would be fruitless for "truth has stumbled in the streets" in America and we have forgotten how to care for and serve our God and our neighbor. We are murdering innocent babies and calling it choice. We are accepting lifestyles that are an abomination to the LORD according to His Word. We are not loving one another but tolerating each other's behaviors. We are told we are not to judge but God's Word is clear that we will be known by our fruits....
This nation has sinned against God and His Sovereign judgement is upon us. We MUST get on our knees and on our faces and repent to out God for the sins of our nation. Pray for forgiveness, for revival in our hearts and for leaders to take our nation back to the Cross and to live in the resurrection of our LORD. He tells us that even Noah, Daniel, and Job could only save themselves because of their righteousness....where is you righteousness??? Would God see your righteousness???
