A beautiful day outside! Praise God for it and get out and enjoy it!
We have looked at four points over the last several days about how we pick and chose what God's word has said we should do. Today I want us to think more on God's word itself. Hebrews tells us:
Hebrews 4:12-13 (New King James Version)
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Did you catch all that?? His Word is alive, powerful and convicting! We can not hide from His sight and one day we will give an account to Him...wow...stop and think about these words for a moment.
I am afraid our nation has become like Israel. If we take time to study the word of God the similarities are almost scary. God told Israel what their problem was and it looks just like us....proud, stiffnecked, arrogant. We think we know more than God! The only time we want God around is when we have a problem...example 9-11. Everyone wanted God then. Church attendance soared. Over time though many faded away. When Israel turned away from God he chastened them. We as a nation have turned from God. Could it be God is chastening us??? I think so. Look at our economy. Don't expect to see a turn around any time soon unless there is a turning back to God by our nation! All revivals have started with a return to God's Word. Our nation CAN change and return to God but it must start with you and I. Joshua 24:15 says "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord". Are you and your family ready to make that commitment?
Take time to listen to this song and worship. Then get out God's Word and read it, study it and obey it!

God please lead us to revival and back to you. Amen
