Return to the Lord

Joel 2:12-13 "Yet even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments."
Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster.
O foolish man, when will you turn back to your Maker? We have disasters we try to fix and fail. We need to turn back to the Lord. You see the oil spill and the havoc it is reaping, God could change it with a rushing wind, have you been on your knees to ask? When are we going to declare we need God? We try to take God out of everything and now we are going to hear from Him! It will not be pleasant. It is not too late. America ask God for forgiveness and repent.
2 Peter 3:8-10 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.
God is faithful to fulfill his promise, you just have to repent and be obedient!

Lord, I pray for our country. We have strayed from you and played the harlot with other gods. Please forgive us and heal our people and our land. Even so Lord, come quickly! Amen
