Another entry from the 365-day devotional book "In God We STILL Trust" by Dr. Richard G. Lee:
On Moral Decay
"Then God saw....that they turned from their evil way."
~ Jonah 3:10
General Douglas MacArthur,
Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in the Pacific during World War II,
said this in December 1951:
"In this day of gathering storms,
as moral deterioration of political power spreads its growing infection,
it is essential that every spiritual force be mobilized
to defend and preserve
the religious base upon which this nation is founded;
for it has been that base which has been the motivating impulse
to our moral and national growth.
History fails to record a single precedent
in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline.
There has been either a spiritual reawakening
to overcome the moral lapse
or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster."
Patriot's Prayer:
"I know, Father, that our nation needs
You now more than ever.
I pray today for our leaders.
Open their hearts to Your Word and to Your will.
Please give us a reawakening to Your ways
and to Your purpose for our country.
Restore to us the knowledge of the principles
upon which this nation was founded."
Patriot's Promise:
"In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God assures us that
'if we humble ourselves, pray and
turn from our wickedness, He will heal our land.'
What glory awaits us if we obey Him.
