Interesting Times

Notice the earthquakes in various places, the record setting snow in much of eastern USA, high unemployment in so many countries and even Toyota having major recalls. Cancer and other types of illness in record numbers in spite of medicine and available medical care here & in much of the world. Wars, terrorism, sectarian violence, and just plain hatred through out the world. How about the record debt of so many nations and at top of list the USA along with much of Europe. In many countries the children are left to fend for themselves and in other countries the mothers just have them killed while in their womb or during delivery process. Drug and alcohol use is rampant in much of the world along with the crime associated with the activity. Then consider how many young women and children are sold in sex trade or kidnapped for same. The divorce rate and adultery is through the roof with to few honoring their marriage vows. Along with the "gay" lifestyle choice and other sexual misconduct fueling the high STD rates throughout the world and related financial health care cost. Now what are the elected officials concerned about, how about things like trans-fats, cell phone use while driving, wearing seat belts, motorcycle helmets, controlling where smokers do their smoking, overweight people and high cost of health insurance.
Unfortunately the real problems continue to be unaddressed in today's sick society. God has given the first step for a nation to have it's land healed and that is for the people who are called by His name to humble themselves, pray seeking His presence turning from their sin, then God will hear from heaven and forgive the sin and heal the nation. We live in a proud generation so the first step will be tough since pride always opposes being truly humble but if our nation is to be healed that must occur so there will be prayer and the required turning from sin and seeking the Holy presence of God through His son Jesus.
It will be interesting to see if we are willing to follow God's plan for our nation to be healed so it can be Blessed once more. How much time do we have?

  1. If true seems odd that God wants people who are already his to give up sin before others who are not even trying.
