Well Said

I know that I can always find people to agree with my opinions, but this seems like common sense to me.  I find it interesting that this recording was made decades ago and in the time since then we've obviously moved much further down the road of entitlements and socialism.  Here in the present, we now all get to sit back and watch history unfold a little further as the consequences of the decisions of our elected leaders come to fruition. 

Although I think it will be even more interesting to see in the end the purpose for which God chose to raise up the nation of the U.S.A.

Job 12:23

²³ He makes nations great, and destroys them;
He enlarges nations, and guides them.

Jeremiah 50:8-10

⁹ For behold, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon
An assembly of great nations from the north country,
And they shall array themselves against her;
From there she shall be captured.
Their arrows shall be like those of an expert warrior;^[a]
None shall return in vain.
¹⁰ And Chaldea shall become plunder;
All who plunder her shall be satisfied,” says the LORD. 

 

Ezekiel 29:15

 ¹⁵ It shall be the lowliest of kingdoms; it shall never again exalt itself above the nations, for I will diminish them so that they will not rule over the nations anymore.

 

In the end I think we need to remember that our nation, like all nations, is His instrument.  We are not the Second Israel.  Honestly, the state of our hearts before God probably shows that we more resemble a second Catholic Rome - much tradition but little faith.  Perhaps the question is, to what extent may the faith of our people, the humility of our nation, or the repentance of our hearts influence the way in which He uses us?
