The Only Hope for the USA
Haggai 1:5-7 Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it."
Why?" declares the Lord Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house.
Is this a picture of what is happening this very day to our nation? We have worshipped at the feet of the almighty dollar for so long and we have neglected God. Because of these wrong priorities we are feeling the consequences of sin. We have borrowed money following Keynesian economics and not Biblical economics and there is a price to pay. It is our debt that has put us in this crisis.... debt is another word for greed, and love of money. Now it feels like we have holes in our pockets. All of these events are warnings that we are building the wrong dream. It is not the dream house that will secure our future ... it is the house Jesus is building for us in heaven. In the end we must all “Give careful thought to our ways.” Is the way I am living pleasing to God? Am I building his kingdom or mine? May God give me the strength to build his kingdom today.
