The wicked is banished in his wickedness, but the righteous has a refuge in his death. Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, but what is in the heart of fools is made known. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14:32-34)

When The Nation Chooses Unrighteousness

The struggle with sin on an individual level is a constant battle against the forces of evil. Satan seeks every opportunity to wiggle into the hearts of God’s people to entrap them with sinful lusts. The devil desires to have every heart of every soul on earth, but it does not end there. Satan has a global view of his work. He is not satisfied with corrupting individual hearts. His greatest achievement is when he can bring a nation to its knees without the people realizing what is happening. There is a greater awareness of destruction when a nation fills its borders with the wickedness of carnal desire for the pleasure of the evil one.

Defining wickedness and righteousness is a strong ploy of the devil. He does not deny the reality of sin but changes the nature of wickedness to look like goodness and righteousness. What God calls darkness, Satan illuminates as light. When the Lord describes something as evil, the devil convinces the world it is a good thing. The most effective way of accomplishing his goal is to convince a nation that what once may have been viewed as taboo is now an acceptable norm in society. There was a time in America when marriage was held in honor, and the subject of divorce was shameful. Having children out of wedlock was viewed as sinful. The topic of homosexuality was banished from the minds of those who feared God. Most people in America had some knowledge and appreciation for the words of the Bible.

The moral compass of a nation never judges the nature of righteousness. Just because there was a time in America when marriage was honorable and the bed undefiled did not suggest it was right because of the moral standard of society. Sin is defined by what the Bible says, regardless of how society defines it. Sin is a transgression of God’s law. However, when the moral consciousness of a nation spends time in the reading of the Bible, there is a moral consciousness that guides the hearts of the people to view sin for what it is. Satan has been successful in tainting the minds of America away from a belief in God and the Bible so that he can instill his pernicious tentacles of wickedness firmly in the nation’s core beliefs.

America is a nation that has turned away from God. The motto “In God We Trust” is no longer a valid argument. Because of wickedness, the nation has banished itself into the mire of ungodliness where men are lovers of themselves, without natural affection, disobedient to parents, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of what is good and holy. America is now the standard of transgenderism and all the unholy alliances of sexual immorality that accompany it. People worry more about global warming than eternal warnings. They are afraid of how hot the earth will become without knowing how hot Hell will be. God has been taken from the minds of the people and made fools of nations.

Righteousness will always exalt a nation because it believes in God and the Bible. History has repeatedly shown how stupid human wisdom is when the hearts of men walk the paths America is following today. The Roman Empire was destroyed for the same reason America is building its future. Historians centuries from now will look back on this once great nation of people who believed in God and show the folly of the agendas of the woke, foolish, ungodly, and immorally bankrupt society. There is no exaltation in the future of America. Peering through the porthole of tomorrow clearly shows the reproach that is approaching, and it will not be a pretty sight. The people of God need to put their spiritual seatbelts on because the tsunami that is coming is going to be hard and difficult. Remain righteous. Seek refuge in God. Wisdom comes from understanding. Pray.
