"WHOSE PACE ARE YOU ON?"

While I am extremely saddened and disgruntled with the lack of leadership displayed by the leadership of our country, I am not shocked or surprised.  GOD was not required to send us a Western Union telegram alerting us to HIS impending judgement on our nation.  We turned our backs on HIM many years ago, and have progressively gotten more carnal.  

Revelation 3:16-17 says "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked".  America lives with the mindset that we are the most powerful, most wealthy, nation ever to exist!  Scripture says GOD will spue us out of HIS mouth!  HE is sickened by our attitude!   

To paraphrase John MacArthur, "America has passed by any chance for repentance and us now headed into JUDGEMENT".  Folks, the sad thing is,  America was once known as a Godly nation.  Now, all references to GOD have been removed from our society.  Jeremiah 17:9 is running rampant like a cancerous growth.  "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"  

And we wonder why GOD has turned HIS back on us?  When we have been so subtly slipped into living at the enemy's pace that we don't have time for bible study or a meaningful prayer time.  Like sheep being led to slaughter, we just go about our lives at the breakneck pace demanded by society, until we wake up and we are in the "corral of captivity"!  

Scripture was not given because GOD was bored and had nothing to do.  2 Timothy 3:16 tells us scripture is given for correction and changing!  It may be too late for a wide-spread revival affecting whole continents,  but individuals can still be changed. 

Psalms 46:10 instructs us to "BE STILL, AND KNOW that I AM GOD"!  The enemy has a method behind the madness of the pace set by his agenda.  If we are so busy living at the worlds pace that we "don't have time" to spend with our CREATOR, then we are rejecting the peace and comfort of living with and in HIM!  I guess that is what we want???
