"For, lo, I raise up the
Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth
of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs" (Habakkuk
1:6). "I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction, and the curtains of
the land of Midian did tremble" (Habakkuk 3:7).
Ancient Israel was chastised by the
hand of Jehovah for their departure from Him. "Chaldeans" were
no problem for the great Jehovah to raise up as an instrument of His
displeasure. Many throughout history have found themselves on the losing
end when contending with "the Mighty God of Jacob."
Numerous have been the nations, like Israel, whom the Lord put in
"affliction" and were made to "tremble." America is
learning that lesson well in our day, though we may not say so or believe it.
Many try to tell us what we need in
America to correct our problems. Most of these miss the mark, not dealing
with the root problem, which is sin. But who wants to hear
this? Our nation becoming "socialized" may be chastisement upon
us to wake us up! For sure, beloved, Mr. Romney is not the answer!
No politician is! No political party is! Let's get some things
straight: abortions will never be stopped short of a heaven-sent
awakening, no matter who is in the White House! All of our
complaining about "the economy" is worthless in light of our awful
sins! But Obama-bashing is not the answer. The answer to our
dilemma is nothing but the mercy of God upon us! Mercy is needed to
"spare" us! Grace must be "bestowed" upon us, or we
will never repent! Our spoiled American people need stripping of our
luxurious living and self-confidence. We are lazy to the core and have
been lulled to sleep on government handouts. A divine hand is
chastising us, and only a divine hand can awaken us. Why all these
debates?
The Lord Jesus Christ is still our hope, and only the way of the cross leads home! The answer is that simple, but who has an ear to hear? "And some said, What will this babbler say? Others said, He seems to be a setter forth of strange gods, because he preached unto them JESUS and the RESURRECTION" (Acts 17:18). Our message is just as "strange" as was Paul's.
