"Return to Me," declares the Lord of hosts, "that I may return to you..." Zech. 1:3
This was God’s call to the nation Israel. Surely it is His call to us today.
Obedience is the only ground upon which God can continue to bless a nation. We have walked perilously close to the precipice of His judgement.
Anti-God philosophy has so permeated our media, our educational system, our churches and our minds, that it is difficult for many to make the distinction.
Our society not only tolerates - but applauds wickedness. What we see being condoned in an average night’s television brings to mind this verse:
“...and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.” Romans 1:32
Surely this knowledge will take you to your knees before our merciful yet holy God.
Look around you. Analyze the direction our society is going. Read statistics. Find out what children are learning in the public classroom. Compare TV today to what it was 20 years ago as it reflects society’s values.
Then, get God’s perspective. Until you see things as God does, they will not be too disturbing.
Pray today for revival. Pray that God will not be forced to turn His back on us for our wickedness.
