Hands #7

So what about the hands of our nation as a whole? Would you say we have clean hands before the Lord or dirty hands before the Lord? This is what God said about Israel...are we any different?

Haggai 2:14
14 Then Haggai answered and said, “So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, declares the Lord, and so with every work of their hands. And what they offer there is unclean.

Let's take a moment and reflect ....our nation was founded on the Word of God. At one time our nation did a fair job of trying to be a godly nation although anytime man is involved there will be bumps in the road. Slavery, racial problems, broken agreements with the indians, civil war and the list goes on to show we have bumps!!! But as a nation we held on to the Word of God as a whole. Now as a nation we are trying to get rid of God's Word from all areas...schools, government, states, individual lives, and even now some are trying to tell preachers they can not use certain portions from the pulpit! Really???? 

So if we remove God's Word the guide book for His people how can we have clean hands before God? We won't know how! Take a look at this nation of ours, do you see clean godly hands or do you see dirty ungodly hands? Think about abortions, murders, rapes, drunkenness, adultery, hatred, vulgar talk, homosexuality, liars, thieves, and the list goes on.....all this is dirty hands before a holy God!

Our only hope is to get God's Word back into our lives and then apply what God has taught us! This nation must repent or the downward spiral will continue and the blessings of God will disappear!

As a member of this nation it starts with me and you....are your hands clean?
