I see in the news that the people of Georgia and other places in the south have finally turned to prayer. They have brought the drought up before God and have ask Him to bring the rain's upon the land. It's funny how when things are bad we look to God for help, but when things are good we tend to forget God. One of God's blessings is the rain, and He has the power to with hold the rain or give the rain. If we are without the rain, we end up in a drought.
This drought could be discipline from God. I'm not saying that it is, but it could be. As a country blessed with everything, we have refused to give God the glory and thank Him for the blessings. Instead we have done everything possible to push Him out of the way. In the book of Leviticus God told the people if they obeyed Him He would bring the rains.
Leviticus; 26:3-4
('If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them, then I will give you rain in its season, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.)
If you were in charge of a nation and the people of that nation kept disobeying you and turning there head away from you, would you keep giving them all of the blessings? I don't think so! So how can we expect God to continue to bless this great country of ours when we keep rejecting Him. Everything we have is because He has given it to us. All we have to do is look around at the other nations and we will see how blessed we are in this nation.
The thing we need to remember is that God is in control. He controls the rain and the lack of rain. If we as a nation would turn from our evil ways and call upon God for the rains, I believe He would continue to bless us with the rains. If we don't change our ways, I don't see things getting better for our country. All of God's people should get down on their knees and ask God to send the rains. A nation without God, is a nation doomed to destruction.
