God's Promises Sunday

Where Is God ??

Joshua 1:9, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

If you look around, it is very easy to feel less than positive about the whole world. If you are like most people, the news is downright depressing. It seems that as things get worse, so do people.

When someone is killed on the street or anywhere for that matter, you hear people say, how could God allow that? The news tells you about terrorists blowing up a bus with many people on it, and the question is where is God? As all of this is going on did you ever hear someone say how does the devil come up with such carnage, or why did satan do that? No matter how disgusting something gets no one blames satan. If people get sick, have an accident, whatever, they blame God, not satan.

Numbers 23:19, God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. As He said, will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

 It seems people get a little confused at times. When you look at the very people that are doing all the dreadful things in this world, they are in fact exercising their own freedom of choice. God would not be God if He didn’t allow you to make a choice as He promised.

 Well, some people eventually do come to realize that God is still there and they do make that choice. God is always waiting for us, but He will not force us. Back to the question, where is God? Take an honest look at that.

This country was founded on biblical principles. Our government recognized the need for God in running the country and making laws. For 100 or so years we followed that idea. The country was blessed.

When you look back you can see that 50 or 60 years ago, it looked like America was beginning to slide. People started slipping away from God and the Bible, little by little. It didn’t take long for those ideas to grow, and they kept growing. Whether we were getting too sophisticated for God, or started replacing Him with stuff, or a combination of things, it started.

We somehow started to follow a new God. That God was called political correctness, and with it came abortion, homosexual marriage, gender re-assignment, and all kinds of things. God was totally taken out of just about everything. It started even in the government buildings, including schools, and the list goes on. People that say they don’t believe in God and go out of their way to remove Him from sight. If they don’t believe, why do they care?

 It seems people spend plenty of time reading the Bible to see what ever angers God the most, and then passing a law or doing whatever it takes to violate that part of the Bible. Add to this the fact that God is absent from most homes because traditional values are no longer there. 

Where is God? Our laws, political correctness, and people under the influence of satan, took Him entirely out of the picture. So, if we do not know where God is, we need to look where we left Him. He did not take Himself out of our lives, we took Him out of our lives and are paying the price.

John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

God bless you and your family.

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed, and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. Thank you, My Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! 

Praise The Lord!
