I miss America! I miss the days of simple hope and honest work, being rewarded. Things were not so complicated. Through modern globalization, living in a borderless nation, with our military going around the world to win the hearts and minds of 9th century mindsets of cruelty and evil manifestos of world conquest through the mandates and madness of their Koran. It makes me sad for the youths of America. Having lost our moral compass, it seems we are as a nation fleeing from common sense values of faith and honor. America is now on the run! Bouncing around the globe, trying to buy friends, with freshly printed money fleeing as in vs.1.There is an old rock-n-roll song, "man on the run"! The wicked flee when no man pursues. If our nation turned back to God, we could hear the Lord say,"Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord". ex.14;13 No more running around like a drunk duck! Be still and know that i am God. ps.46:10.
The righteous are as bold as a lion. The lion ain't running around trying to buy favors. He calmly walks in the confidence that God gave him.
2 things ch.28 speaks of for prolonging a nation and prolonging our days.
* 1. NATION: In vs.2 - A nation is brought down by the transgressions of many leaders (princes). But vs.2 goes on to say by the wisdom & understanding of 1 man(solitary man of God) the nation can be saved or prolonged. Lets pray for our nation!
*2. vs.16 -"Our days" Leaders that are without wisdom create great oppression. I can now feel that great oppression in the air i breathe.But God's answer is to hate greed and covetousness; not people. In so doing we personally will be free, with the promise that he will prolong our days. And we shall rest in His love, knowing he cares for us. -- agape -- reggie --
