Is there a human who can stop time from advancing? No. Is there a man or woman who is able to reverse time? No. Only the One true God who communicates to all people through the Bible, He who has created all things from nothing, He alone is able to turn the clock back, but He is not.
The Bible tells us the plans of God are still unfolding.
As much as some Christians want to go back and try to adhere to the original intentions of the signers of the Mayflower Compact it’s not happening in the thinking of the majority of today’s Americans.
The Christian Pilgrims wanted to collectively, freely worship God in Europe but needed to flee religious persecution. Before landing together in America the Mayflower Compact was written honoring God with Godly intentions.
The documents very first sentence says “In the name of God, Amen.” In the next few sentences God is mentioned highly; “by the grace of God,” “for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith,” and “in the presence of God,” clearly exaltation of God, Christianity and faith were their primary goals.
But that was then in 1620, and this is now in 2015. Murdering babies, homosexuals marrying, widespread gambling, and recreational marijuana are legal. Shootings of school children, highway drivers, policemen and the public often becomes the news of the day.
We can look back and praise God for the multitude of His reciprocating blessings on people. A love for God led Christian motives, thought and lives to honor God.
God grants blessings causing worship, bringing more blessings and giving more worship. Living lives to honor God is the purpose of life. Worshiping God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is why He made us. God keeps giving us breath so we can say “not my will but Your will be done.”
There is no greater goal in life than to please God, through His Son, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
American greatness is all a product of the will of God which was lived out in everyday people who in turn became Christian leaders shaping America. All according to the plans of God who loves to loves us.
Quotes from Brainy Quote:
President George Washington said: “It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being.” And “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God.” Washington was a man who bowed to God, and God blessed America.
President Abraham Lincoln thought and wrote: “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” As a man who believed in the God of the Bible Lincoln said “men are created equal.” Created by the same Creator God controlling all things, humans are part of His creation.
President Barack Obama said: “That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.”
By the majority of Americans from the current president to the poor, all who don’t acknowledge Jesus as Sovereign, Ruler and Giver of life, by not worshiping Jesus, America has lost many, many blessings.
Receiving blessings from God is not about voting for a president and his religion, it is about a president and all people bowing to the Lord Jesus in faith alone as their God and Savior.
More startling than to be led by a president; who is without a humbling, healthy fear of God, who does not protect the most innocent, vulnerable infant lives, who with the power of America’s great strength boasts by drawing of a red line then backs down from an enemy, is the fact that God put him in office.
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Americans are living under the growing anger and correction of our just and holy God. Murdering babies has consequences far greater than no job, dysfunctional government and increased enemy threats.
God allowed the greed of the high tech bubble to burst. God allowed 911 to happen. God allowed the housing bubble to erupt. Rising prejudice, debt, hostility towards authority and political chaos unfolds as the justice of God punishes evil and the great sin of not loving Jesus.
How much pain will it take for one person to cry out to Jesus for His loving hand of guidance?
Pray for the will of God to bring peace to your heart.
Psalm 31:14 But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all you ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Thank God the Father for His comfort through God the Son our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ said in John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
It’s not a matter of ‘if’ God will bring more and greater judgment on Americans for their many sins and a most grievous sin the murdering of His babies.
It’s a matter of ‘when’ God will bring an increase of judgment on Americans for the most grievous sin, that of denying and rejecting His Son, Christ Jesus as their Savior and Lord.
Pray to God for His truth in your life.
Read the Bible and pray for Jesus for His loving peace now to save your soul from an eternity of hell.
Turning back the clock is a hopeless thought. Living in Christ now will bring eternal life in heaven where there is no time. All of eternity in joy and worship of God starts now.
