"A Moral Truth"
A "proverb" is: "A short sentence conveying a moral truth in a concise and pointed form." This essential message as it applies to The Word of God, is "The Moral Truth" that "Wisdom Begins With God."
It is this "Wisdom of God" that gives to us the lessons in "The Moral Truths" necessary for the survival and prosperity of our nation (A nation which was founded on "The Moral Truth" and belief in God as "Elohim-Almighty God, Creator and Possessor of the Heaven and Earth.")
In this season we have digressed into a nation and a people that has forsaken the basic moral principles of life taught to us in The Holy Scriptures, and as a result of this we as a people and a nation find ourselves in this season trying to live without the basic moral principles needed to establish and balance our lives!
Proverbs 14:34 says that, "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." In other words, "Uprightness and right standing with God (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation) elevates a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."
Reproach means: "To express disapproval of, criticism of, or disappointment in (someone or, something)." When you "disapprove of", are "critical of", or, express "disappointment" in God, you are in SIN! And, it is this sin of "reproach" that ultimately separates us from "The Presence of God" in our lives!
Where there is no "Presence of God" in your life, there is no "Power of God" in your life and, where there is no "Power of God" in your life, you are defenseless against the wiles of the devil!
The Apostle Paul writes to the Church at Ephesus instructing them to, "Put on God's whole armor (which is the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies), that you may be able successfully to stand up against (all) the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood (contending only with physical opponents), but against the despotisms, against the powers, against (the master spirits who are) the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere."
The Moral Truth (The Wisdom of God that people do not want to believe) is that, "Evil exist in the earth", and it is this evil that sits in the supernatural sphere of the earth that is literally "calling the shots" in the earth today because of mankind's "rejection" of The Moral Truth that is found in The Wisdom of God!
Matthew 24:37-38 Jesus says, "For as it was in the days of No'e (Noah) were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that No'e entered into the ark." The truth here is that, "From the beginning, things have not changed!" People were "eating and drinking (or, reveling and partying) then! People were living n the sin of reproach then and people are doing the same right now! They were "marrying and shacking-up" then, and people are still marrying and shacking-up now! A nation of sinners who are still blinded by the illusion that we can receive the blessings and favor of God while living a life of reproach in rejection of God!
There are too many of us who believe God, for things to be that way that they are in our country today. We much pray for our President, Pray for our nation, pray for our leaders, that we as "One Nation Under God" might awakens from this nightmare that the people of our nation are living in today, that is fueled by the drunkenness and the greed of sin, to see for themselves that believing in "The Moral Truth" that "The Wisdom of God" is the only "hope" that we have for our nation!
The nation is wounded, and the people are hurting all because of "The Sin of Reproach" that is in our hearts. But, if there be any reprieve in this, if there be any hope in all of this darkness, it is found in The Word of God . . .
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place."
(II Chronicles 7:14-15)
