God Will Heal the Land

God gave Israel the Old Testament to command the country and to supply her hope. The Father’s commands were designed not to destroy His kids’s fun, just to help them dodge harm. In Deuteronomy 8:19, we see that God holds followers accountable : he’ll bless and protect them, but if they turn away, they can expect His hand of judgment.
Were He to operate in any other way, He would be permissive and untrustworthy. But we will count on God to do precisely what He announces because the Bible records that’s just how He interacted with His beloved country of Israel.
Essentially, their history was a regular cycle of blessing, waywardness, judgment, repentance, and blessing.
If God deals with the “apple of His eye” this way, what are we able to expect? Although our country wasn’t made as a Christian country, the Founding Fathers did structure our state on biblical beliefs. As a consequence, we have experienced abounding blessing. But as we drift and turn a deaf ear to God’s instructions, how will he continue to pour out His favor? The foundations of Scripture work whether folks heed them. The Lord is longsuffering, but if we as a country reach a certain stage of moral depravity and cross a “divine line,” we expect His judgment. Is it too late? 2nd Chronicles 7:14 inspired followers of that day to humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face and turn from wickedness. We must do the same. Only then will God hear from heaven and heal the land.
