When God Is With Us!

Numbers; 21:34

(Then the LORD said to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon.)

All through the history of the people of Israel, when they were obeying God things went good for them and when they were disobedient to God things went bad. Many of the wars they fought in, they were outnumbered by their enemy but God was with them and gave them the victory. God would tell them "Don't fear this people for I have given them into your hand." Notice that God gave them the victory. There were times when they didn't listen to God and then they would be defeated because they thought they could do it on their own.

It's the same thing today. When we think we can do something on our own with out God, we are asking for defeat. I feel that is why our country is in decline as a super power. We have forgotten why we were victorious in battle against our enemies. We used to have God with us and He gave us the victories. Now we have we allowed our country to push God out of the way and we are suffering the consequences. We have turned away from our God and we are no longer being blessed. We have made laws to allow abominations in God's sight and we are in for trouble. We have forgotten our roots which made us a great country.

It's amazing how we can forget God so easily. When we are in trouble we call out to Him but when things are cozy and comfortable we seem to forget Him. I feel that is where our country is right now. When 9/11 happened, the churches were full of people looking for answers, but now that things have calmed down, there are fewer people looking to God. If you have spent anytime in your Bible, you know that without God we can do nothing. He is the vine and we are the branches. If we are cut from the vine, we will dry up and perish. We need to stay connected to God if we want to survive.

If you aren't connected to Jesus today, then ask Him to come into your heart and save you. He is the only way to have forgiveness. When you have eternal life in Jesus, the things going on in the world won't seem as scary. We are told in Scripture that this present world will end one day and I feel we are getting very close. So put your faith in Jesus. He is our Lord and Savior.

God Bless You!
