A scripture for America...

Psalm 81:11-16 (New International Version)

11 "But my people would not listen to me;
Israel would not submit to me.

12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts
to follow their own devices.

13 "If my people would but listen to me,
if Israel would follow my ways,

14 how quickly would I subdue their enemies
and turn my hand against their foes!

15 Those who hate the LORD would cringe before him,
and their punishment would last forever.

16 But you would be fed with the finest of wheat;
with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."

I hope all of you can see where I am going with this. We as a nation refuse to listen to God, we want to listen to ourselves and therefore God has given our nations over to our own vices. Look at what the Bible says would happen if we would follow God; I believe God's words from Asaph in this Psalm are just as true for our nation today as they were more than 2000 years ago.

Oh God, turn our nation to You so that we might see the glorious works of Your hand in all that we do, that is my one cry.
