Shalom,

Psalm 66:1-7 says this:

 1MAKE A joyful noise unto God, all the earth; 2Sing forth the honor and glory of His name; make His praise glorious! 3Say to God, How awesome and fearfully glorious are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power shall Your enemies submit themselves to You [with feigned and reluctant obedience]. 4All the earth shall bow down to You and sing [praises] to You; they shall praise Your name in song. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! 5Come and see the works of God; see how [to save His people He smites their foes; He is] terrible in His doings toward the children of men. 6He turned the sea into dry land, they crossed through the river on foot; there did we rejoice in Him. 7He rules by His might forever, His eyes observe and keep watch over the nations; let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

Did YOU hear what has been going on at the Democratic National Convention in the last few days? They voted on their party platform and removed all reference to God and to Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. There was such a backlash from the people of the nation that they "voted" to change the language back to include both. The "vote" on the floor was clearly against doing so, but they had predetermined to do it, so they went with that. These verses speak to the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible and how He SHOULD be treated! The warning is:
"..let NOT the rebellious exalt themselves." THAT is exactly what has been happening here! Have they forgotten that Psalm 33:12a says this?

12a Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the nation whose God is the Lord,  AMP

America is STILL a Christian nation because it was created by God for the purpose of spreading the Gospel, AND, because there are STILL more with us than be with them! God's people have woken up and are taking their place; praying, standing up and speaking out! If YOU haven't been, then start! If YOU have been, than keep it up! Amen! God is well pleased when His people obey His Word! Here is Hillsong United with "The Stand":



Shalom in Him!
