Renewal of the Covenant

I really found some very interesting similarities to the warnings of what would happen to us as a country if we were to stop obeying the Lords commands.

He talks about how we will stop lending to others and we will become the borrower to other lands, how foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that fall on our land. He also states how our vineyards and vegetation will dry up and we will have to go to other lands for our resources. Or how about how the foreigner who live among us who will rise up and become better then us. The Lord will bring a nation against us from far away, from the ends of the earth and who's language we will not understand. These people will be a fierce looking nation without respect or pity for anyone. They will devour us. They will lay siege to our cities.

Well, I guess you can read into these things anyway you want to. But sure sounds like very familiar situations to today. Our country was founded on Christian values as well as our laws were based on the laws we have been reading for the past few readings. Today, well, I do not think I need to mention what our country is based on today.You would have to be blind not to see we are no longer based on the Bible anymore. All biblical reference is slowly being taken away from us. And look at how much of what we just read in today's reading sounds very much like today in our country. I pray daily for our country to continue with biblical standards. Even for those who do not believe in God, I am sure they would not want those biblical laws taken away. We would have so much trouble!

Am I reading too much into it? Maybe, but then again, what is happening to our country could be the consequences of a countries action to not obey God?
