Bible Verse of The Day – 8-16-23

Proverbs 14:34 (NKJV) 34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.

A nation who honors God in everything they do will always prosper.

If we were to look back through history, we would see a pattern where nations who put God first, and honored Him in how that nation was governed, became great.

Conversely, nations who were/are Godless tend not to last long, or they are in constant turmoil, with governments that are repeatedly changing, being overthrown, etc.

Without God at the forefront, there is no stability.

If we were to look at current events, and back through history, we would also see nations that started out on the right foot, putting God first. But as they strayed from their faith and left God behind, they began to falter, morally, economically, and socially. And they eventually crumbled.

Many such nations end up being invaded by outside neighboring countries, with their governments being taken down and replaced by ruthless leaders.

Other countries in this situation simply erode into a weak, pitiful mess where chaos and confusion reign, with evil completely unrestricted.

A sure sign that a nation is in decline is a marked increase in corruption.

God will be eliminated from every facet of that government and that nation.

He becomes nothing more than a distant memory. And with that mindset, evil increases rapidly.

Wickedness and sin no longer hide in the shadows. They become brazen and blatant; in your face and wide open for the world to see.

There is no longer any shame.

Lawlessness increases drastically. And the ensuing chaos will become more than many people can understand or bear.

Soon, that nation will become divided, as the remaining righteous men and women desperately hold onto what they know is right, and those who have abandoned God continue their downward spiral. And that nation plunges into darkness.

Please join us tomorrow for the continuation of this teaching.
