Devotional – “Is God Judging America Today?” – 05/1/26

COMMENT

I think we can all agree that we all want ‘our best life now’. The issue is whether we obtain it via a True Biblical manner or a watered-down version of the word. I am both discouraged and encouraged by this. 2 Timothy 4:3 says (AMP) For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, I am discouraged because I see so many being led astray by those preaching this itchy ear bible nonsense. I am also encouraged because I am seeing more and more of the younger generation turning to solid doctrine and Bible-preaching churches.

I have long agreed with the late Dr. John MacArthur that God had lifted His hand of providence from America. However, I struggled to clarify what I meant by that statement. Did it mean God was letting go (forsaking America) and letting us run wild? Was He passing some form of Judgement, designed to draw people in? Remember the surge after 9/11, Katrina, and other such calamities.

The following is from Capitol Ministries, although written to political leaders, it does a very good job of breaking down God’s Judgement and what I believe the Spiritual state of the Union is now.

Some leading Evangelicals have believed and taught that America is experiencing God’s judgment. As a public servant who is sacrificing so much in your attempt to turn our nation around, if those Evangelical leaders are correct, you might conclude you are wasting your time. Are you laboring against a foregone conclusion? May it never be. But allow this qualification: America is not experiencing the forsaking wrath of God, but yes, America is experiencing the consequential wrath of God. 

The goal of this study is to give you a working knowledge of these italicized theological terms and a sense of hope in this work God has called you to.

Choosing to say, "YES!" to Jesus' invitation to follow him can be challenging/intimidating ~ our lord, savior & reigning king lived a Perfect life as a man, when he walked this earth. Since EVERY human being is imperfect/prone to sin, following him may seem unattainable.

Jesus doesnt leave us hanging though & Here are but 3 ways he helps us follow him:

▪pray to the FATHER thru Jesus
▪imitate Jesus' life from the gospels
▪Jesus is with U Always

BLESSINGS☦🙏

Unshakable Gladness: Cultivating the Fruit of Joy

As we continue our journey through the Fruit of the Spirit, we arrive at Joy. This isn't just happiness, which often depends on circumstances.

It's a supernatural strength, a wellspring of delight that sustains us even in trials [Nehemiah 8:10, James 1:2-4]. Biblical joy is a confident assurance in God's goodness and His sovereign plan.
