Unrest in the USA

I never intended this to be a political blog but there is an unrest in our nation that I have not seen in my life time. The Lords principle of reaping and sowing is upon us. It applies to nations as well as individuals. Democracy works well when there is integrity but the absence of that virtue has toppled many. The trust factor is just not there anymore. The financial markets are crumbling because folks are afraid to invest anymore. The oversight of the financial service industry and banking industry has failed. Money has been taken from the American taxpayer and swindled away by ruthless investment advisers.

Irresponsible bankers over extended credit to those that were not able to pay their mortgage. The sum total of all of this is very alarming and should not be taken lightly. What is happening here? What is the root of all of this evil? It's obvious that the love of many has caused many to make unscrupulous decisions. Our nation revolves around money and not moral integrity. Politicians promise those that support them a piece of the American pie. That is the primary motivation for most politicians today. Payback is what keeps them afloat in the country club atmosphere called Congress.

The most grievous in all of this is the fact that we are a nation that was once known as a nation under God. We have traveled far away from any notion of that and we are starting to reap the consequences. This is a critical time for our nation. This may be what drives us to our knees.

Not many of us saw this coming. I have often mentioned my curiosity of why the United States of America is never mentioned in the Bible. We are a young nation compared to some of the civilizations of the world but none have achieved the heights of prosperity seen in the USA. There is much to pray about. I have children and grandchildren. I want our nation to return to God.

Lord, Help us all.....
