Today's Verse: Psalm 33:10 (NIV)
The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
God's purpose is sustained no matter what people try to do to thwart that purpose. God is the shaper of history.
Today's Comments: Whatever God has planned for this nation, the United States of America, we will be unable to change, even if we wipe out the religious slogans from our money, the ten commandments from our buildings, or the prayers from our schools. Yet, I fear that the embracing of this country and its people of pluralism, secularism, and postmodern theology may be evidence that our place in God's plan may not be as important as we hope it might be. Like the great Nation of Israel, are we making the same mistakes? Are we striking out to do Man's will, instead of God's? Are we preparing ourselves for our own Babylonian Exile instead of the coming of God's Kingdom?
