One day a friend asked me if God had shown me anything on
the Ten Commandments. Something immediately stirred within
me. Seeing the Ten Commandments proudly and prominently
displayed in public places is “the Heart’s desire of
Christians. Interestingly the Lord began speaking to me,
“Write them on the Tablets of your heart”.
Many perceive a significant decline in the moral and
spiritual atmosphere in this nation since we removed the
Ten Commandments from public institutions. God knows the
end from the beginning, He was not surprised when
America’s leaders compromised and joined with those who
would rebel against His commandments. The decline really
began when the leaders in homes forsook them …when parents
stopped teaching the commandments to their children.
Neither should we have been surprised when they were
removed. Historically governments and rulers have
rejected God. He never meant for His people to rely
upon government to set their moral and spiritual cadence.
He placed the responsibility upon us, when He said; “(you)
write them on the tablets of your hearts … (You) teach
them to your children … (You) write them on the posts of
your house and on your gates. The message?? The scripture
indicates that we should first
display the commandments in our private domain. Public
domain (the gates to the city) came second.
As I began to ponder
the rendering, I knew that it would not be just “another
plaque” with the Ten Commandments. We all know that
Christians are trying to get them back into public
schools. I could sense that God really wanted to speak to
America. As I sat down and yielded to His heart, I began
to see the glory of God pouring out on this nation. (Hab
2:14 KJV) For the earth (nation) shall be filled with the
knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover
the sea. I could see the washing of the water of the word.
I could see the light shining through the night from
above. I felt His appeal for believers in this nation to
lead by example …post them on “our” walls. Greater still
is His desire for His people to write the commandments on
our heart.
This illustration
proclaims that His word will forever be above whatever
“man’s government” thinks it has imposed on this nation.
We should not be moved by what we see as failure in the
government. We were founded upon Godly principles and will
forever remain one nation “Under God”. May it serve as a
reminder to declare that …Americans will indeed know and
live by His commandments. His influence will indeed
manifest that God has and continues to bless America.
God
bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside her and
guide her through the night with the light from above from
the mountains to the prairies to the oceans white with
foam God bless America, my home sweet home. God bless
America, land that I love, Stand beside her and guide
her through the night with the light from above. From the
mountains to the prairies to the oceans white with foam,
God bless America, my home sweet home. From the mountains
to the prairies to the oceans white with foam God bless
America, my home sweet home God bless America, my home
sweet home.
The glory of God truly
is pouring out on America. There will come a day when we
will once again proudly display the Commandments on our
private and public walls. |
