Praising God

Psalm 67:1-5 (Amplified Bible)
1 GOD BE merciful and gracious to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us and among us--Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!--
2 That Your way may be known upon earth, Your saving power (Your deliverances and Your salvation) among all nations.
3 Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols] and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You.
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples fairly and guide, lead, or drive the nations upon earth. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
5 Let the peoples praise You [turn away from their idols] and give thanks to You, O God; let all the peoples praise and give thanks to You!
I hear people lamenting about the condition America is in with all the crime, killings and sinful living. If people would just realize the reason we are in this condition is because choices were made to take God out of everything. God is tired of the way this nation is living, I believe unless we wise up and really get into intercessory prayer that things are going to get worse. We as "Christians" need to begin to stand up and proclaim who God is and turn this country around. We need to begin to praise God at school, in the workplace, in the courts. We need to boldly say America get back to God! Then God will judge us righteously. We need to be glad and sing unto our King!
May God Bless you today.
Joy
