Hope And Peace Through God

How often do you ask yourself, what happened to this country? What happened to the bright future that the United States of America has held for over 100 years? The security I used to feel living here is dwindling with every passing day. I believe many of you feel the same way.

The beacon of hope and freedom that the United States of America once stood for is crumbling. I love my country and what it stands for, but I do not love how morally corrupted her principles have become. Americans have gone from loving and trusting God to denying Him any presence in their lives. The people have gone from working hard to manage their own affairs to depending on the government to do it for them on the backs of others. Public service has become less about serving the will of the people and more about gaining the power to push their agenda. An agenda that doesn't include God.

The United States of America was founded on Christian ideals. Many dispute this, but the facts are there, no the matter how many attempts have been made to cover it up. The founding fathers knew in order to build a thriving nation, the foundation needed God and the freedom He has given us through creation. Without that foundation, everything we hold dear will eventually crumble.

Once our country prospered and grew to be the shining example of freedom and justice in the world, there were those who began to credit themselves for these achievements. God? Well, they decided they didn't need Him. Why listen to God when they can make their own rules? God has been told over and over to leave, that He isn't welcome. When we go through difficult times, deep inside us, we call out for the pain to go away. God says, "Here I am." And the majority responds, "I'm sorry God, but you don't fit into my life." How can any of us be surprised that America as a whole is tearing itself apart? Those who deny God will not receive His blessings.

I say to those who do not believe they need God in their lives, look around us. The world is literally falling apart. Not only the United States. Putting our faith and trust in the powers of this world will not protect us in the end. Only God can protect us and bring us peace through Him. Peace nothing on earth can match. History shows us that peace through man never lasts. But there is hope. Jesus, the Lord of all is that hope. I give this promise to everyone. God is only four words away. "Lord, I need you." Listen to your heart with all honesty and ask yourself, Do you need Him?
