A Potentially Interesting Anecdote

I was just reading in Deuteronomy chapter 4, and happened upon an admonition to Israel beginning in verse 6.  I found it interesting, as I was reflecting on our most recent Presidential election, in which the Great Pretender, the Man-Child, even that one Obozo the Clown, was re-elected at a time when our nation is in the most dire straits I expect we have ever faced.  Please indulge me a moment as I quote the passage that leapt out at me:

6- ... Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

7- For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

8- And what nation is there so great that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set forth before you this day?

9- Only take heed of thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy son’s sons.

Methinks we, as a nation, have NOT taken heed of ourselves.  Thus, many of our people, especially the younger generations (like mine; I’m in my mid-20’s), are lost to the random and entirely selfish teachings of the world, rather than safe in the teachings of God.  This is why we are no longer a Christian nation.  This is why we are no longer protected by the hand of the Lord in this country.  Now other nations will have hold over us, as partially indicated by the rise of UN interference in our sovereignty.  Now the freedoms we have enjoyed in this nation are going to be very openly trodden under foot by those who seek the downfall of the country.

The bridge is crossed; there is no going back.  Now we can either stand and watch it burn, or we, those still faithful to God and His commandments, will have to band together and maintain our dignity and our faith, never flinching in the eyes of the many adversaries unwittingly united under the one great Adversary.  But there’s something funny about life.  You see, I peeked at the end of the book, and there I saw that we, the faithful, will win.
