Psalm 33:12 - America, This Is Your Wake-Up Call.
Psalm 33:12 (NKJV) Blessed is the nation
whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as
His own inheritance.
Psalm 33:12 (NLT) What joy for the nation
whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen
as his inheritance.
COMMENTARY
Our Nations Two Choices
The 75th Anniversary issue of Forbes
magazine featured the theme Why we feel so bad
when we have it so good. It noted that
Americans live better than any other people on the
planet, yet so many in our culture seem depressed.
Then-editor James Michaels wrote, Why
is this nation that marched so proudly into the
20th century slouching so dejectedly toward the
third millennium? The article went on to cite
the alarming loss of values, absolutes, and
meaning in contemporary life.
Whats gone wrong? The person on the
lowest rung of the economic ladder in America has
it better than most other people in the world
today. We have all these things that citizens of
other countries dream about, yet we still have a
sense of emptiness. Why?
I think Abraham Lincoln answered it well
when he said, We have forgotten God. We have
forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in
peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened
us; and we have vainly imagined, in the
deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were
produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our
own.
President Lincoln was right. We have
forgotten God. And its even truer today than when
he made that proclamation in 1863. Weve
tried to push God out of the courtroom, out of the
classroom, and, for all practical purposes, out of our
culture.
Will good ever prevail over evil? Or, are
we simply doomed to failure? The answer to
Americas problems is not political; its spiritual.
We need to turn back to God.
Therefore, it is my belief that our
country has two choices before it: One is judgment.
The other is a spiritual awakening or revival.
And that is what we need to pray for today in
the United States of America. [Greg Laurie from
