Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.”
I have a sign in my window, it simply says, ‘God Bless America.’ I feel it might easily read, ‘God Judge America,’ because judgment is on the horizon if America does not change its ways.
When you read the Scriptures, God is SO clear concerning the standards that He desires for people to live. Nations are made up of people so how the individual lives matters to God. When the people of a nation turn their back on God, there is no way that they will escape His judgment. Unfortunately, America has taken this downward path away from God:
There is no reverence for God’s Word the Bible. The Scriptures have been taken out of our schools and our government. Drugs and alcohol are rampant. Immorality is the standard of living. There is no respect for God or His directives in today’s living. Wrong living is applauded and righteous living is criticized and belittled.
II Chronicles 7:14 says, “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.”
Christian – you are the only one that can stand in the gap between God’s blessings and God’s judgment. You have to be the one who will seek God’s face and pray and humble yourself before Him. You have to be the one that will preach the gospel and warn our nation of God’s judgment if they do not turn to Christ and accept what He did for them on the cross.
The answer to the question, “Can God Bless America?”, is simple – ‘Yes, He can’ – but, it is highly unlikely that He will bless a country that is living so contrary to His Word and His standards.
You need to allow God to use you to spread the gospel because Jesus is the only hope for America!
