Throughout the Word of God we are taught to forgive and to trust God instead of man. But over the years of drifting away from the Word of God America by majority has grown into a society that wants to show how much we know and some are even taking matters into their own hands. God is at work in every circumstance and it is our job to trust Him for the outcome while learning to do our part with what we have been given.
It is very easy when something is not going our way to try and redirect its coarse but we must remember that we are not not the ones who direct the steps of man. Unfortunately today we see brothers turning on brothers. Sisters are turning on sisters. Parents are turning away from their children and children are turning away from their parents. Families are being broken and our homes are being divided. This division that is taking place in our homes is even causing a larger division in our nation. It is a proven fact in history that when we take matters into our own hands without trusting God and seeking Him for the direction that we need then we are only setting ourselves up for a fall.
The Lord tells us in Deuteronomy 30 that if His people will return to Him and obey His voice according to all that He has commanded with all our heart and soul that He will restore us after our disobedience and even bless our children in the future. When you look at America today we can see a parallel to Israel when they abandoned God and became fat and unruly while making light of their Rock of their Salvation.
America by majority has become fat and even lazy. We have forgotten what it takes to get the job done and the work that it takes to maintain the love that we have in our homes. We have alot of talk with little action and until we step up to the plate and commit ourselves to the job without trying to place our jobs upon someone else then we are only going to continue the downward spiral that is tearing our homes and our homeland apart.
In order to have strength in our homes we must recall the definition of true love instead of just saying the words with little meaning. We are given the true definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13 but it is sad how so many have have fallen to only scratching the surface. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
It is so easy in our daily struggles to only scratch the surface in saying the words I Love You and take what we have been given so for granted. We must remember that love requires forgiveness, trust, discipline, honor, respect, compassion, and work in helping one another when someone may fall behind. Our Lord Jesus Christ taught us how to treat one another and our Father In Heaven taught us how to maintain what we have been given. It is my sincere prayer that America recalls our foundation of God and Wakes Up for our children’s future. Our living God is a merciful God that only wants His children to return to Him and then He will carry us forward…amen
