"WE THE PEOPLE!"

Jeremiah 29:11          (NASB)
"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a HOPE!"

Joshua 1:8                  (NASB)
"This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success."

I recently read that America only needed to do two things to return to the greatness we once enjoyed, to return to GOD's word and follow the Constitution!  While I don't see the benefit of nitpicking, I will humbly disagree with the idea that the U.S. Constitution should be considered as part of a plan for success for our lives.

GOD'S word is filled with instruction for living life to honor HIM, and having success!  In Joshua we are told to "meditate" on GOD'S word "day and night" so that you will be able to do what HE would have you do, and THEN your way will be prosperous, and you will have success.

GOD had a plan for Joshua and the children of Israel.  They had to "wander in the wilderness" for forty years, enduring much hardship and trials, and letting the ones who failed to place their trust in HIM be removed, before HE could guide them into the Promised Land.

America should follow the Constitution as it is the law of our land.  But we must realize that "WE THE PEOPLE" must acknowledge GOD for who HE is, and for what HE has done for us!  Joshua 1:8 says we must meditate on HIS word day and night and be careful to do what it says.  ONLY THEN......can HE make our way prosperous, and we have great success!!
