America has lost her ability to think clearly!
Even to the dangerous point of “reversing” nearly everything God says in His inspired Word!
I say dangerous because God places a curse on such thinking … “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20
If this is true (and it is) America is on her way “down!” She will no longer be a world “leader” in any major, positive area. (A goal many politicians and educators have had for our Country for years now, including some Presidents.)
Tarnished, retarded … the United States of America.
And this self-imposed inferiority includes the area of “creative thinking!” (Other than inventing new ways to commit evil.) “They provoked the Lord to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.” Psalm 106:29
There is such a thing in Scripture, however as creative inventionsor helpful inventions. An area of life where America once excelled. Before she jettisoned the Wisdom of God from her schools, courthouses, assemblies … and the list goes on!
All this typing to lead up to today’s VERSE …
“I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.” Proverbs 8:12, a Bible fact indeed.
But in our Land …
Wisdom (nationally) is gone.
Prudence (nationally) is gone.
Knowledge (nationally, the Bible kind of knowledge) is gone.
And so of course … “witty inventions” are as well. The Hebrew expression here implies “God’s Ways, Thoughts, Plans, Purposes, Devices!”
We may be beyond help! God did say in Genesis 6:3, just before the Flood … “My spirit shall not always strive with man.”
One remaining prayer might be pertinent this morning …
“O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work (of judgment) in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; IN WRATH REMEMBER MERCY.” Habakkuk 3:2
Those last four Words … “IN WRATH REMEMBER MERCY.”
