BEWARE AMERICA
Pray
for the peace of Jerusalem:May
they prosper who love you.Psalm
121:6
The church I was attending during an internship north from my home had a wonderful pastor, a pastor who unusually kept track of current events. A ten minute film had been passed among many pastors at the time. I'm talking about the latter 1950's when a stunning event had occurred. In those days, it was kept off of all news casts. . He had a private showing of the film with no children including teens were not allowed to come. The film was in black and white, probably filmed secretly. It showed a huge sit in of college students in the university administration building. The university was in California. There was no sound to it but in that day, what we saw was unsettling and shocking at best.
That event would be almost nothing compared to what we see in our day. I decided a long time ago that rebels will always find something to criticize and take it to the nth degree. I go from seeing that very tame event to what I've seen in our national Capitol building with demonstrators against Israel.
I recently read the above verse in my study time. It may be one of those verses people read quickly and move on. This isn't a verse or others like it, to be of great concern. Most folks don't know a lot about the history of Israel , but God pays no attention to the ignorance we may have regarding anything to do with Him or His people.
Just as we would be very protective of our own families, so God is with His people, His people is Israel and He's made some promises to the world, that Israel is His family of heritage. Like a loving Father, he loves His people and will take any abuse of them only so long. In the above verse is the phrase....”may they prosper who love you.” This also indicates that no good will come to those who don't love His people. In my Bible, beside the above verse, I have printed :”10/7/23.”, a date that will never be forgotten by Israel's massive attack from their enemy. It would appear from demonstrations in our country that we are in agreement with their enemy.
God wants us to prosper but when He looses patience with us or any other country, beware. If we think some things are bad politically in our country right now, we can't imagine what will happen to us when God lifts His hand of blessing off of America.
Thank You, Father, for being so patient with us. A majority of folks in our country don't agree with radical demonstrations and those who pay for and conduct them. May Your Spirit move in a mighty way to bring hope and salvation to our people. In Jesus' precious name....Amen
