Deut 8:7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;
Deut 8:8 A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey;
Deut 8:9 A land in which you shall eat food without shortage and lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
Deut 8:10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for all the good land which He has given you.
Deut 8:11 Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His precepts, and His statutes which I command you today,
Deut 8:12 Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them,
Deut 8:13 And when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all you have is multiplied,
Deut 8:14 Then your [minds and] hearts be lifted up and you forget the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
Deut 8:15 Who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, but Who brought you forth water out of the flinty rock,
Deut 8:16 Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.
Deut 8:17 And beware lest you say in your [mind and] heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.
Deut 8:18 But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
Deut 8:19 And if you forget the Lord your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
Deut 8:20 Like the nations which the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.
How easy it is to forget "the things" the Lord has brought us out of. I have moved eleven times since 911 happened, and thirty four times that I can count in my life. I never owned a home or let any "asset" mean anything to me when it came to a choice between my devotion to the Lord. We hear people asking God to bless our country, but without the wisdom to see with spiritual eyes what the result will be "in" our country in the coming days. There are consequences to sin, and our country will reap far more than it has sown. Religious people, some who have lived in the same comfortable house for forty years, do not know what it is like to be without food, clothing or shelter; nor do they "see" with spiritual eyes when they have riches. Innocent people suffer because of sinful choices made by those who are in power positions, and when you read the scripture above, we can know the "expected end" of this "land of the free."
