The Real State of the Union: A Warning for America

by Tim Groves
January 14, 2016 • less than one second ago; {verse_6}). A nation losing pride In his address, President Obama also said that “the United States of America is the most powerful nation on Earth. Period.” By many measures, that statement is still true. But there are many signs that we are in decline. America doesn’t seem to be able to use its military effectively to bring change to troubled spots on earth, and it is increasingly not feared by other nations (such as Russia, Syria and North Korea). God declared that another curse for rejecting Him would be a loss of the pride of our power ({verse_7}). America’s only hope The United States experienced great blessings in its prime. But the issues we are facing now indicate that God may be removing the protective hedge He has given to America (and other English-speaking nations). God wants to help America, and He will “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” ({verse_9}). Yes, the future state of our union is at stake. If we continue to reject God’s laws and pride ourselves on our self-reliance, then destruction and military defeat will be our end ({verse_8}). But if we humbly turn to the true God with a repentant heart, then He will help us, protect us and restore us. But even if the nation does not repent, we can each individually turn to God in repentance and seek to do His will. Our loving God wants to hear from us. Will we turn to Him before it’s too late?
