Obedience to God - Leviticus 26:1-10

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!!

   For sake of round numbers, let's say America has been a strong and admired nation for 200 years - 1800-2000.  In the year 2000 Things started really changing.  Bill Clinton was president, then Bush, then Obama, Trump, and now Biden.
  In my opinion, starting with Bill Clinton was when we started putting Democrat against Republican and forgot this is all for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA1!
   If you look back to the year 2000 forward and note the changes you will see some slow, some not so slow ideologies pushed on Americans.
  For over 200 years America was blessed, yes we saw wars, droughts, floods, and such; BUT, we, Americans were blessed.
  Take time to read these verses from Leviticus 26 (also Deu 28).  Read, absorb, and don't just look at words but see the meaning.  This is what God has revealed as a reward for obedience.
Leviticus 26 “‘Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves, and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am the Lord your God.   
  “‘Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.    
“‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
     6 “‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
     9 “‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. 10 You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.
     We will reap the rewards of being obedient.  However, look around America, the world today.  Where is God?  He is where HE has always been--faithful and true.   Where are we in relationship to God?  Far, far away.  Letting the loud minority scream over the top of the silent majority.
     Think about this topsy turvy theology.  An 18 year old is not mature enough to purchase a gun and critics want to raise the minimum age to 21.  YET,  a FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, grade student is old enough to determine his/her sex.  HUH????
   People, as Christians, we need to stand up, be vocal, and stand firmly on the BIBLICAL WORD OF GOD.   Be obedient, humble and reverent to the LORD, but speak up again evil.  Thank you for reading today. Love y'all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
