Say Amen!

Come near, you nations, and listen;
       pay attention, you peoples!
       Let the earth hear, and all that is in it,
       the world, and all that comes out of it!

The LORD is angry with all nations;
       his wrath is upon all their armies.
       He will totally destroy them,
       he will give them over to slaughter.

Their slain will be thrown out,
       their dead bodies will send up a stench;
       the mountains will be soaked with their blood.

All the stars of the heavens will be dissolved
       and the sky rolled up like a scroll;
       all the starry host will fall
       like withered leaves from the vine,
       like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

Isaiah 33:1-4

Which nation in today’s world is honoring the Lord by the way it conducts its affairs? Is there a righteous nation by the standards of heaven? The United States still does wonderful things when reaching out to tragedies around the world, but we take the glory for doing it and praise the goodness of the American people not the God who made us!

Why would the Lord not be angry with all nations today? And if He is, then what is my responsibility as His follower?

First of all, I need to cling on to Jesus with all my strength. Unless I stay close to Jesus I will be of no use to anyone else. As the terrible times come on the world, those who wander away from Jesus will find that they, themselves are blowing with the wind or drifting on the waves. But those who hold on to the Lord will become light houses and rescue stations for the lost!

My job is to be the body for the incarnation of the Holy Spirit! When Jesus was alive there was only one human body which was filled with power from on high! Now every believer who walks in the light is another example of “Christ in you.” To this you must daily say AMEN!
