Love has no exception. There are no laws against caring for God’s People. Has God commanded that you refrain from its provision? There is no however to follow, no but, no circumstance where I a part of Creation deem myself equal to God submitted my unholy interpretation of that which God has Created in Sovereign Perfection. My hubris is inadequate to believing myself capable of countermanding, critiquing or editing God’s Message on any level. I will not do it nor will I believe that in my pontification that I may influence God in any way to do that which is outside of His Will for Mankind.
We are dangerously close to mocking God on our current political stage. Today it was suggested that “We bring God back into our Society”. My reaction of momentary astounding turned quickly to concern and prayer to God for Mercy. This statement displays a presumption and a radical misunderstanding of man’s relationship with our Maker. He is God and I am not. I do not bring God into anything especially into a society that has backslidden from His Holy Word and Commandments precipitously. There is no world or good outcome from such ignorance concerning God and our current predicament.
We are a moment where God’s Love is sufficient in Grace, but our acceptance of that Grace presumes a supplication/humility on the part of the recipients. We do not bring God back we beg Him to take US back after the adulterous, self Worship and lunatic wickedness we have wantonly displayed in our selfish pursuit of sin and lascivious behavior. Now this may be a bit over descriptive on my part but I believe it essential or foundational to our problems at hand. This rabid misunderstanding of God’s Sovereignty is the Root apparent of the near attempted dissolution of our Constitutional Republic with inerrant Rights entirely dependent upon the understanding of Sovereignty.
Let’s for example say we want to “Bring” Back God into our society. What campaign or business plan will be offered by eager politicians to legislate God back into the Society which banished Him? Will it be as effective as the plan to remove Him has been? Did we ask Him when we decided to backslide from His Hand of Blessing? Did we take an carefully orchestrated strategic and tactical march as we proceeded from the things of God? No we simply exercised the same arrogance and declared our own ventures more important than the reverent relationship of WORSHIP and Love we showed God for His provision, protection and promise. To believe that we can simply state that we want to “Bring God Back” is testimony to our ignorance.
God tells US in HIS WORD how to return to Him and be healed. It is not something done by our simply proclamation of that importance it is done in Humility, Truth and Sincere Contrition for our departure from His Loving Grace. God does not even need to listen to this Adulterous Nation. He will listen to the humble Cries of those serious about our offenses against Him, but even that is no guarantee of God’s “Return” to this nation. It is not upon our own proclamation, intention or righteousness that God does anything. It is entirely based upon HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, His Promise and His Longsuffering to demonstrate His Mercy and Grace upon the obedient such that those who are disobedient will see it and Glorify HIM. Are we willing to be obedient? Doubtful.
So we are arrogant and disobedient. Considering those two factors there is zero chance of God returning to US whether or not clever Politicians proclaim that we need Him back in our Society. He chose US not the other way around. The only hope we have of once again becoming a Godly Nation is found in His Transforming Hand. Point blank, without a radical departure from our arrogance, ignorance and disobedience why would God hear our business or mission statement? He won’t.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. His way is the only way we will ever find our way back into God’s Mercy and Grace as a nation.
