Everyone in this world
should worship and honor
the [Lord]!
As soon as he spoke
the world was created;
at his command,
the earth was formed.
The [Lord] destroys the plans
and spoils the schemes
of the nations.
But what the [Lord] has planned
will stand forever.
His thoughts never change.
The [Lord] blesses each nation
that worships only him.
He blesses his chosen ones.
The [Lord] looks at the world
from his throne in heaven,
and he watches us all.
The [Lord] gave us each a mind,
and nothing we do
can be hidden from him.
Psalm 33:8-15
The extreme foolishness of thinking that we can hide from God is mind boggling. But that is the way our broken relationship with God began when Adam and Eve tried to hide from God. It did not work then and it does not work today.
God knows everything you think and can see everything you do. He knows your sin before you confess it and He sees everything you do even in total darkness.
God also blesses a nation that worships only Him. Freedom of religion, at least in the United States originally meant that we were free to worship God according to our own understanding of the Bible. It did not honor and support those who wanted to worship "An Orange Juice Can." There is nothing in the Bible that says we will be blessed for letting our people worship false gods. That would be like a man blessing his wife for being intimate with other men. It would make no sense.
When we encourage other men to worship idols and false Gods we do not receive the blessings of God for it.
The truly happy and blessed wife is the one who is completely faithful to her husband. And that is the way it is with the Bride of Christ. When Christians are faithful in every way to Jesus the blessings will flow like a river. When they are not the trouble will come in waves and will wash over the land like a flood!
If you think that droughts, storms, floods, earthquakes and all kinds of political and military turmoil in the world have nothing to do with God's response to man's unfaithfulness to Him then you have not read the history of mankind as recorded in the Bible.
The simple warning is this: Wake up and repent, before it is too late! Amen.
