So exactly who do you consider to be a nation? Is it the country you live in? Would you consider your own body to be a nation? I ask this because as it states in the scripture I am basing this writing from, that God is questioning whether or not the nation (in this case Jerusalem) should be avenged for it's malicious wrong doings. Many folks call our nation a christian nation, ironically to me they are the same ones that call themselves Christians too! Now, before I write on let me say that I do not write this as any attack on anybody. Just some basic observations that I make. To be a Christians implies that you are Christ-like. Do you see that in your daily walk from this nation? Do you see that in your daily walk from yourself? If your answer is no than, we can not question God when he chooses to avenge on us for these wrong doings. Ahhh, yes, here is where it turns into grey matter, at least for me. What if what you are doing, you feel is right? My suggestion to this is to PRAY about it. Praying does not mean justifying it to God your thoughts or deeds, it means to talk to God about it, listen to what is said to you, then going into the Word where you are told to go and do! So what exactly are these jumbled thoughts of mine? We as individuals are responsible for our own actions, what we do, we will need to answer to God on our judgement day. Yet, we truly need to walk heeding everything we are told, for we do not know the hour or day. As a nation,together, and individually, when we call ourselves to be Christ-like (Christian) then we are to walk and talk upright. Or like Jerusalem, Sodom & Gomorrah, God will avenge wrath onto us and the only ones responsible for it is ourselves.
