IN HIS LOVE for us, and in fact, HIS CREATION, HE IS PATIENT, and COMPASSIONATELY seeking the turning point of all; the point when HIS SOVEREIGNTY is recognized, acknowledged, and aligned to! HE once destroyed, and laid waste the entire face of this planet, but saved Noah, and 7 others, along with pairs of animals, which grieved HIM to the core, and so, HE has set before us a season TO 'get' it, and to return to HIM, individuals, Nations, and all which exists!!!
WHEN Nations begin acting in ways which are against THE LORD, there IS consequence, and a seething WRATH coming, no matter how long HIS PATIENCE lasts! THIS IS WHY sound instruction IS needed, and ABSOLUTELY necessary from birth on, and all through social structures! The uninformed, the ignorant, and the taking on of wrong-mindedness, passed down through the ages, WILL render generations which DO act against THE LORD, even if they are not aware! Thus, HE HAS instructed us to raise our Children according to HIS WILL, and WAYS!!!
It is NEVER too late to turn TO THE LORD *GOD*, but it CAN happen that those who KNOW THE TRUTH turn against HIM BY following the ways of the world, and human precepts OVER HIS! THE LORD'S WAY IS SOUND, and IS THE WAY TO LIFE, and abundance! Those who deny, defy, and ignore HIM WILL, whether now, or later, be trapped in their decisions!!!
Today we have generations which ARE teetering on a slippery slide to destruction, via HIS WRATH! We see Nations defying HIS WILL, WAYS, and WORD, in favour of the world, and human perception, which WILL bring troubles, oh don't doubt!!!
THE LORD *GOD* IS FAR MORE SUBSTANTIAL than are we! We are as a spent dandelion which blows with the wind; here, then gone, whereas HE HAS BEEN, IS, and EVERMORE SHALL BE, therefore, HIS WAY IS THE WAY VOID of NEEDING to be proven, for it IS indisputable, and undisguised!!!
This world is TEEMING with violence, dissension, anger, frustration, evil, wickedness, sorrow, pain, suffering, agony, and every negative feasible, and still, few 'get' it! THE TRUTH PROMISES restoration, renewal, transformation, and ALL WHICH IS POSITIVE TO those who seek it, and align to HIM! The CHOICE IS ours, HE GAVE us the choice because HE doesn't want anyone unless they want HIM! It ISN'T too late for anyone, or any country TO make the OPTIMAL choice which IS to TURN TO THE LORD *GOD*, and I PRAY with all I am, that more, and more WILL 'get' it WHILE they have the opportunity, this time, to do so!!!
7+++“At one moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to uproot, to pull down, or to destroy it;
8+++if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent concerning the calamity I planned to bring on it.
9+++“Or at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to build up or to plant it;
10+++if it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will think better of the good with which I had promised to bless it.
While Jeremiah looks upon the potter's work, God darts into his mind two great truths. God has authority, and power, to form and fashion kingdoms and nations as he pleases. He may dispose of us as he thinks fit; and it would be as absurd for us to dispute this, as for the clay to quarrel with the potter. But he always goes by fixed rules of justice and goodness. When God is coming against us in judgments, we may be sure it is for our sins; but sincere conversion from the evil of sin will prevent the evil of punishment, as to persons, and to families, and nations.
Repentance in man produces repentance in God. The threatenings of God being conditional, when they are suspended by his long-suffering and mercy, or prevented by the amendment of the persons against whom they are denounced, he is said, in Scripture, to repent; not that the phrase implies that there is any change in him, but that there is a change in us; and that his conduct toward us, provided his denunciations were not conditional, is the same as if he repented or changed his mind.
The seeming change is but the expression of an unchanged eternal Law of Righteousness, dealing with men according to their works.
Leaders, ADULTS, and Parents HAVE a certain role; imminently and imperatively so, to their own growth, and development, TO raising up *GODLY* Children FOR the sake of the future, for the well-being of all, and for HIS GLORY! We ARE witnessing the effects of LAXITY, ignorance, and misinformation in the increase of the negatives flying all about us in this day! SURELY it IS CLEAR to us THAT perhaps we NEED to TRY a different way, and THAT WAY IS THE LORD'S WAY, which IS MORE THAN RICH IN GOODNESS, LOVE, PEACE, and all which WOULD HEAL us, RESTORE us, RENEW us, and KEEP us VERY well! THINK about it, and consider the consequences of continuing in the world instead of IN *GOD*!!!!
