Dad's Ramblings -- National Repentance

"Then the word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles saying... 'Let every man and beast be covered with sackcloth and cry mightily to God, yes let everyone turn from his evil way....Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?' "

National spiritual awakening starts at the grass roots level, and is endorsed and promoted by the government leadership. Throughout American history (until recently) during times of national distress, our presidents have proclaimed national days of prayer, and God has shown mercy and helped us. In our present distress, there is only one thing that will save America. It is not the Congress passing laws and spending money. It will come about when we as a nation, from the president down to the individual citizens, 1) humble ourselves in repentance; 2) cry mightily to God, and 3) turn from our evil ways. Perhaps God in His mercy will relent so that we will not be destroyed as a nation. O God, help us!!!
 
Today's Thought: The answer for our national distress is God.
 
Have a seeking-God day. Love you.
