Seek His Face





Nahum 1:7-8
The Lord is good,
    a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him,
    but with an overwhelming flood
he will make an end of Nineveh;
    he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.


Nahum was a minor prophet who spoke of the destruction of Nineveh.  A country that only 150 years before God saved by the preaching on Jonah.  Reading of this destruction of Nineveh, I wondered about America. In 1630, a governor named John Winthrop admonished the future Massachusetts Bay colonists that their new community would be a "city upon a hill", watched by the world. America founded on The Bible and it beliefs guiding us became a great nation.  

Will America be the Nineveh of Jonah and repent and follow God or the Nineveh of Nahum and turn from Him and be destroyed.  

II Chronicles 7:14   "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
