In the Bible’s book of the prophet Hosea, God asks: Who is wise? Who is discerning? He is speaking to Israel of course, but He can also be asking the same thing of us in America.
Our start/foundation/Constitution came by God’s will so that He could bless this nation and use this nation to bless other nations. It was His will to “provide a way of escape” for His people being forced by their government to worship its false ‘religion,’ or suffer the consequences. So, the LORD led His people here to live freely unto Him and to be a blessing to others, to the glory of God.
“When I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree.” Hosea 9:10
There were many things these Christians needed to overcome, and with God they DID, and it is recorded in our history books, or at least it used to be (the wicked have been rewriting our history). So now we should ask ourselves as Christian citizens, and even non-Christian citizens, how did America become so very immoral and corrupt, and our government tyrannical.
Who is wise? Let them wake up to what is happening in America and to America’s foundation and godly heritage. Who is discerning? Let them realize WHY, the truth from God.
An unsuspecting, deceived, and self-gratifying America will suffer the unnecessary painful and deadly consequences. May it not be said by God: “My people are determined to turn from Me. Even though they call Me ‘God Most High,’ I will by NO means exalt them. Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many [types of] warriors, the roar of battle will rise against you so that all your fortresses will be devastated.” (Hosea)
What is America’s “fortresses?” Our military, our justice system, our education system, our economy, our medical industry, and yes even our Constitution and Bill of Rights; all that we have depended on and been blessed by as an American law-abiding citizen. Yet, it has been ‘progressively’ and ‘unsuspectingly’ attacked and chipped away at, and now it’s so completely obvious and alarming, but incomprehensible as to how to correct it on our own.
“A people without understanding will come to ruin.” Hosea 4:5
“They exchange their glorious God for something disgraceful. In their misery they will earnestly seek Me.”
Elections are on the way with all their political campaigning, those who say they have the answers and solutions for the mess America is in, but do they really? God says, “They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements; therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed fields….and nations will be gathered against them to put them in bonds for their DOUBLE sin (their own personal secret sins and the sin of making powerless and promises to the people)…. Their deeds do not permit them to return to God.”
“You shall acknowledge no God but Me, no Savior except Me.” (Hosea 13:4)
Who is wise? Who is discerning? Discernment keenly recognizes the REAL danger and schemes of enemy intent. Wisdom boldly knows what to DO and does it courageously knowing God is on the ‘fighting side’ of true faith, righteousness and justice.
“You, Oh God, are my (our) strength, I (we) watch for YOU. You, Oh God, are my (our) FORTRESS, my (our) God on whom I (we) rely.” Psalm 59:9
God is ALMIGHTY God, personally and nationally!
