Why we live in a nation that is spiraling downhill, is because we do the opposite of what the bible says and still expect God to bless us. God's favor isn't on a nation that rebels against him, but his favor is on a nation that obeys him.
God wants to bless his people when their priorities turn from self to him. Many times what's in our hearts causes his blessings and favor to be withheld. We can change this by becoming like David who said in Psalm 139: 23-24; 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. We can talk endlessly about God is doing a new thing, but he is not pouring old wine into new wine skins.
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles. Mark 2:22
God isn't allowing his blessings to rest upon a people that rebel against him are at war with him in their hearts. One thing we do not want to do is become an enemy to him instead of his friend. Let us examine ourselves to see if we be found in the faith.
In Jesus name.
Amen.
