“Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” Deuteronomy 8:18
Our country today doesn't believe this verse. So many people have forgotten how God has worked in people's lives throughout the past. Although Job went through so many struggles and trials and hard times, he still trusted the Lord, and because of that, the Lord found favor with him. Also, the Israelites, as they were escaping Egypt. They remembered the things the Lord told them, did exactly as they were told, and escaped. However, once they got to the Promised Land, they didn't remember God, but rather did things their own way and God did not let them into the Promised Land and they wandered in the desert for 40 years.
God has been a huge part in our country's heritage. The pilgrims came over here for religious reasons, the different colonies were settled for various religious reasons, Bible verses can be found on most monuments, various Presidents have used Bible verses in speeches or have had Christian principles, etc etc.
I have been thinking about Duet. 8:18, and am wondering-does the fact that our country is having economic issues have anything to do with how fast our country is pulling away from God? I think it might. I don't know for sure, only God knows for sure, but that's my opinion.
What do you think?
