Thomas Paine wrote “these are times that try men's souls”. He wrote these words at the time of our war for independence. It was true then, and it is true now.
It was said, if we don't know our history we are doomed to repeat it. George Santayana, an author from the late 19th, early 20th century, came up with that pearl of wisdom.
Our founding fathers believed that a Republic of free people must rely on the grace of a loving God in order to succeed. For nearly 200 years, the majority of our leaders believed it too.
History does repeat itself, over and over. If you read the history of the Roman Empire, you'll see a strong resemblance to our current situation. The greatest empires in history were conquered from within. Same story over and over.
It is not too late. 2 Chronicles 7:14, clearly states, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
According to the Bible there are many occasions in the history of the chosen people that they sinned greatly, suffered the consequences of their choices, begged God for mercy, and He healed their land.
As it says many times in Ecclesiastes, there is nothing new under the sun. The time for salvation is now. Prayers for our country is now. God is still there, waiting to hear from us. 1 John 1:9, reminds us, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. God bless you and your family.
Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus Loves You
Prayer of Salvation
Lord Jesus please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve only you.
Praise The Lord!
Amen
