"Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people."
Proverbs 14:34.
( "a reproach," literally:- a disgrace; literally:- "to peoples.")
Another abomination has been committed by this nation, the U.K, relative to perverted sexual practices thoroughly denounced in the Word of God. "The powers that be," although "ordained (set up) by God," in accordance with His sovereign will, see fit to flout His commands with apparent impunity. I tremble in spirit at such flagrant defiance! But "Be not deceived:God is no mocked;" for as certainly as the guilty individual reaps the recompense of his wickedness, so nations will be held to Divine account!
Recently we have seen unprecedented extremes of weather here in the U.K. The wettest winter on record, with the most severe flooding. At this moment in time we have acute air pollution. Other "acts of God," as the world euphemistically refers to them, have "hit" our nation. While a minority ask "why," generally the attitude is to ignore it as well as possible.
As believers we must surely view all this in the light of the Scriptures of truth; Furthermore we can expect far worse Divine governmental dealings unless there is national repentance. The likelihood of such an action is bleak, and in all probability a hopeless desire on the part of Gods' believing people in this country.
Thus far our great and compassionate God has exercised His grace in longsuffering toward us. I firmly believe that His mercy has much to do with a remnant testimony borne for Him in generations past. I earnestly entreat every true believer in our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, to join with me in beseeching our God to stay His hand of judgement, and to continue in His merciful longsuffering. Begging Him to see His believing people, a little remnant company, as in His lovely Son, and viewing us thus, to be gracious unto us for His names' sake alone.
