It Dawned On Me

If you read this column with any kind of regularity you know that I am extremely worried about the future of America. I feel that we have a president who is exactly the wrong man at exactly the wrong time, as it seems he is determined to lead this country into economic ruin and socialistic chaos.
He has bitten off much more than he can chew. In fact, much more than this country can chew. We go deeper in debt every day and a corrupt and inept Congress is aiding and abetting him every step of the way.
President Obama can’t make up his mind about sending more troops to Afghanistan and every day he hesitates, the Taliban and al-Qaeda grow stronger and the morale among our troops on the ground erodes. After all how would you like to work for a boss who just hangs you out to dry, sets the rules of engagement in such a way that you can’t do your job and refuses to send the help you need?
The streets of America are flowing with blood, the illegitimate birth rate is going through the roof, the educational system is controlled by a politically motivated union and our neighbor to the South is basically under the control of a murderous drug cartel.
60% of our nation’s energy needs are purchased from nations who hate our guts, the dollar is headed a horrible inflationary hit, our taxes are going to go up and our health care needs are in danger of being taken over by bureaucrats who don’t know one end of a stethoscope from the other and that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
These things weigh on my mind as I watch an apathetic and uninformed American public being led so far down the primrose path that I’m afraid they’ll never find their way back, I see the powerful reemergence of Russia, watch helplessly as Iran perfects a nuclear weapon and the despots of the world thumb their noses at America.
It all seems so futile, so out of our control, so helpless.
But you know what, I’ve got some good news for you, “My help commeth from the Lord” the One who said, “I will never forsake you” the One who said, “come unto Me and I will give you rest.” The Creator, the Savior, the One who has never lied to us and never will, who is powerful enough to vaporize the entire universe in a nanosecond, but yet loving enough to sacrifice His own Son so that mankind can come to Him and be given eternal life.
People we have depended on the system and the system has failed us. No matter who is president, no matter which party is controls Congress, they cannot heal America.
America has let the ACLU and other secular entities push their godless agenda for too many years. For too long we have vacillated from political party to political party looking for answers that they are unable to give.
So much of America has adopted the “save the whales and kill the babies” philosophy as evil new age thinking inundates the people not grounded in Biblical teaching the Bible says, my people perish for lack of knowledge, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
America desperately needs to remember that this nation was founded by people who believed in God and Jesus Christ. Our federal papers reflect their beliefs and the cornerstone of this nation rests on those writings, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.
Our forefathers never meant for this nation to be ruled by a monolithic, intrusive, impossibly big government.
America needs revival.
America needs God.
What do you think?
Pray for our troops, and our country
God Bless America
