Another Step Backwards

Today it was learned that the President will not be hosting a national day of prayer. I was saddened by this announcement as it is evidence of a country in decline. Turning away from God has always proven disastrous and when leaders of nations lead the charge the decline is hastened.

Over and over again in the scriptures the Kings of Judah and Israel are either identified as "doing right in the eyes of the LORD" or "doing evil in the eyes of the LORD". And as these Kings led so followed the people, to either blessings or judgment.

God held the King and the people responsible for their action, He will hold our leaders and us responsible for our actions.

I was trying to sing a song that my dad would sing to my brother, sister and me when growing up but couldn't remember all the words. Well thanks to youtube it's easy to find:

The Battle of New Orleans - Johnny Horton

Listen and enjoy.
