Deuteronomy 11:13-15 If you carefully obey all the commands I am giving you today, and if you love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart and soul, the he will send the rains in their proper season, - the early and late rains- so you can bring in your harvest of train, new wine, and olive oil. He will give you lush pastureland for your livestock, and you yourselves will have all you want to eat.
My Thoughts
Look what God promises us if we put Him first... he was talking to all the Israelites as they were about to enter the land he was giving them. When our forefathers came to America it was so that they could worship God the way they wanted to worship God. Look how far we have come since 1776... that is not a long time at all for a nation to grow and prosper like we have... God made us great because we loved and worshiped Him!!
Have you ever built a tower with blocks...they fall so much faster than you can stack them... As a country we can fall so much faster than we were built. We have taken God out of our schools.... our of our work place...we have moved Him over and let other people who worship other gods move in... our country actually welcome them as we push God aside. Yet we wonder what is happening...we blame it on congress, and the president...but it is the responsibility of each one of us as individual to put God first...and to stand up when others try to push God out. One person took prayer out of school while a host of Christians stood aside and watched it happen. Prayer from a nation of people that believe in God... prayers putting their faith in God are stronger than any congress or any president. We can't keep passing the buck...we have to do our part and get on our knees...we have to do our part and be in protest lines when somebody is pushing God out. We have to love God and make choices that God would have us make if we want to see change! We have moved our country outside the protection of God when we got off our knees ... when we chose politically correct over God. Politically correct would have never had a wedge to open a gap if we had been living under God's law and treating people the way God ask us to. Politically Correct started with the treatment of people...and evolved into including removing God from everything!
In these verses God tells us that if we love God with all our hearts and are careful to obey His commands that our land will prosper!! God will protect us! The change doesn't start in the White House...that is passing the buck.. it starts with me and it starts with you... loving God and obeying his commands then standing up for what God would want in our country!
