Pray for our Nation
Prayer Punishment
Prayers
offered up to idols change history – but they produce an unhappy and profoundly
tragic history. Throughout the Old Testament are examples of God’s Chosen
People, the Israelites, turning away from Him to worship idols. Ezekiel records
the fearful message of a jealous God, punishing those who have rejected Him by
allowing them to bear the natural consequences of their decisions. The Psalmist
reflected this outcome when he wrote that “the sorrows of those who run after
another god shall multiply.” (Psalm 16:4)

Go serve every one of you his idols, now and
hereafter, if you will not listen to me; but my holy name you shall no more
profane with your gifts and your idols.
Ezekiel 20:39

Today’s
idols are different, but more pervasive than in any past generation. Americans
have an endless array of substances, activities and behaviors to distract and
addict, but just as Scripture warns, such worthless pursuits lead only to
trouble and regret.
As you pray for your nation’s leaders today, ask God to attune their ears to His wisdom. History will be made one way or another, but America’s future blessings will be secured only as we pray to the One True God.
