Lamentations 3:40-42
“40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.”
What will it take for God's people in our nation to repent and seek the Lord? We are a wicked and rebellious generation and as long as we continue as such the Lord makes no promise of His mercy upon us or our land. Will there be another Great Awakening in America? God's Word does not promise that. II Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
We cannot expect the wicked of this land to change. We are told they will only grow worse and worse. But God said “If my people”. God's people must turn from their wicked ways and turn to Him if they desire to see a change in their nation. But, again, are we promised this in our day and time? No, we are not. Our hope is not in our nation or in our politicians. The only true hope the child of God has is in the return of His Son Jesus Christ.
We are commanded to leave peacefully with all men when possible(Romans 12:18) But how can we expect to live peacefully with others when we are not at peace with our God?
“Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
