SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!!

Prv1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

Prv1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

Prv1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

Prv1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

Prv1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

Prv1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

Prv1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

Prv1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Prv1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

Prv1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

The above scripture, shows us the problem we are having with all of the problems that have, and are occurring with us.

It is because we, who have known God, and have turned our backs on what He says we need to be doing.

He allows these things to happen to us, because of that. If we didn't know any better, it would different. We have churches all over the place. We have radio and television religious programs, plus those that go out and witness, yet, we say, 'Get out of my face, I don't want to hear it.

We are a nation, that was founded on the principles of the bible. We acknowledge God, in our Constitution. We sing about Him in the national anthem. We even proclaim our trust in Him, on our money.

Yet, when it comes to us following His rules, we say, 'We don't need your rules, ours are better and they allow us to do whatever we want. And if we run in to problems, we may call on you then, if our solutions don't work.' So, God just sits back and let's us go on our merry way. Then when trouble comes, He does nothing. That, is our punishment.

It is somewhat like a child that keeps getting chased home by a bunch of kids, that when he gets to his house, and feels safe, because his parents are there, he turns and sticks his tongue out at them.

Then, one day the parents see their child, throwing rocks at these kids, and they start chasing him again. Well, they get home before he does, and see him running towards them, with the kids after him. He figures when he gets to them, he will be safe. But, this time, when he gets to them, they tell him, they saw what he did, and he is going to have to face the music, and suffer the consequences of his own actions.

Now, they may tell the other kids not to hurt him too badly, but he is going to suffer for what he has done.

This is the same thing that America has been doing. We go out and do wrong, and when we have to face the consequences, we may run to God, after we try our own solutions.

The bible says, [Acts 17:30] And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Now, we can beat around the bush, and claim we aren't doing anything wrong, or if we are, God wouldn't be doing this. They are right, God isn't employing punishment, like we think of punishment. He is like the parents of the kid. He is allowing this to happen, and there is more to come, if we don't heed His warning.
