Believing in God’s authority and plan is not “giving up”.  Just because this nation is beyond my salvation and must, it appears, go through a period of Godly discipline does not mean that it is outside of God’s authority to reprieve.  We just will not ask Him for intervention.  We sit still hoping that somehow, wicked and greedy men will make the noble decisions necessary to repairing a country gone astray.  How uninformed is that patience.  We cannot fix these problems that face us yet this world is so beguiled by the opportunity that when the anti Christ comes on the scene claiming that he can fix it all they will fall at his feet.  This is God’s intention from the outset.  He is waiting for the human race to exhaust all these false hopes so that it is painfully clear that there has only been one choice since the beginning, There is God and then everything else.

I am now hearing the desperate voices of violence.  Men have decided that there is no peaceable way to resolve our differences so they are stirring up the willingness for war.  God did not destroy the world through water because of wickedness, sexual sin and deceit all though they may have been contributing factors, He destroyed the world because of our violent hearts that were filled with nothing but violence all the time.  The enemy, satan is violent by nature, our leaders are ruthless with hearts filled of violence, even to the point where they will subject there own people to corporal punishments just to maintain authority.  We are a violent people prone to take that which we want instead of patiently working, waiting and praying.  This is the road of man that is why Christ’s Gospel stands in stark contrast to our own or that of the enemy.  The Lord is the rightful ruler and will eradicate violence from the heart of man then and only then can we have peace.

Praise you Holy Father in Your understanding and truth.
