Don’t Forget the Lord Your God

 As you read the Old Testament and are reminded how rebellious the Israelites were to God, it’s hard not to see how America has followed in their footsteps.  And yes, I realize that God has a covenant of blessing and curses with Israel but I also know that God is never changing. If He doesn’t relish the Jews forgetting the Lord when they get rich and build houses and are satisfied with food, then one could apply the same logic to America.  Our forefathers were God fearing people who scratched this nation into existence with much blood, sweat and tears.  Now that we have food on every corner and most folks live in nice houses and apartments with running water, flush toilets, washing machines, stoves, fridges and soft beds, we have forgot the Lord who blessed us with all of it.  In fact the Democrats, which make up about 50% of voters, had no problem booing God at their national convention.  And more recent, Kamala ridiculed a person who was at one of her campaign stops who dared to say, “Jesus is Lord!”

Donald Trump may think he’s going to make America great again but if the majority doesn’t fear God and continue to ignore all that God has commanded, MAGA isn’t going to happen.

Deuteronomy 8

10 When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day.12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, 13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
