Scripture:
“Our God, make us strong again! Smile on us and save us.” Psalms 80:3 CEV
Observation:
The Psalmist here is crying out to God for restoration of his nation. He knew that God was no longer fighting Israel’s battles and defending His people because of their sin and idolatry. He knew the only hope for his nation was for God to smile on them and save them.
Application:
In the United States, it feels like we have followed the ways of Israel, who never learned their lesson about following God. We have walked away from Him as a nation and fallen deeply into worshiping and serving the creature rather than the creator. We must learnt to cry out like the Psalmist, “God makes us strong again! Smile on us and save us.” Many have been crying out to God for a long time, I believe our answer is right around the corner.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, You are faithful and powerful. You are amazing and gracious. America needs You desperately. We have fallen away from following Your ways. Make us strong again! Smile on us and save us from the destruction we see coming. Turn this nation back to Yourself. Revive the United States with a third great awakening.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
