Read Isa. 3:1-10
When God's judgment falls on a nation he takes away their substance and support. In this case it is the water supply and the food supply. Then he takes away all the leaders: the spiritual leaders, military leaders, economic leaders and novices have to make the decisions. The incompetent children that will lead have no experience, so they will oppress the people and have no respect for the older more mature. They will lead the nation into more sin but the righteous who follow God will be rewarded and bear fruit. God always remembers his remnant and takes care of them. I was encouraged as I watched the 4th of July program on the grounds of Washington D.C. One of the singers sang "God Bless America" with such intensity. You knew she was a part of the remnant of people who still pray for God to save our land. We live in a land where the majority want a Christian nation and the minority seem to be winning because they speak the loudest. Maybe we need to pray more and speak louder. We have been seeing a shift from the wisdom of the old to the knowledge of the young - even in the church. There is no price for experience and experience takes years.
Lord, have mercy on America and heal our land. May we honor those who have gone before us and given their lives for our freedom and may we fight to keep it.
