If you do take the time, pay attention to the part where the author talks about the different stages that empires go through. Which one do you think the US is in right now. Most of the characteristics of that particular stage are things that you yourself have decried about the state of our nation.
Buddy....you are right about falling nations, and empires, its why I do not put much stock into man.....
How can I really expect a person(s) to provide my needs willingly?
Who can?
Will America fall.....who knows, however I do know many very wealthy folk, and entities, are heavily invested in her, and won't just shut up shop willingly, if
capitalism comes under a great threat to its survival.....
I mean look, isn't that why the media is so active now, in this political/social arena.....???
They see their ability to gather that power, and wealth, is under attack and being minimized and challenge by other sources.....
Can you imagine the outrage, and defending, of/by the big wealthy giants in this global economy?
Anyway bro....
Here is some examples of biblical teachings I try to focus on, and gain the promises from understanding them....
Not preaching at ya, just sharing, its why I can be happy with a small boat
From his prison cell, Paul wrote this message: "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand" (Philippians 4:6-7).
The psalmist wrote, "Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation" (Psalm 100:4-5).
God's gates are always open to us. He's waiting for us, whenever we're upset and in need of a friend. We'll still feel the painful emotions. We don't just hand them over to God and expect them to disappear. But we can experience God's peace through prayer. Prayer is a useful tool to help us work through our problems. He will give us his peace, reminding us that he's there with us. For this, we can be thankful.
A life bathed in prayer is the best antidote for worry.I don't need to worry over things I've no real knowledge of, or control....
For in reality, it might consume my attention away from the moment, as I stroll down the peaceful path out in the woods behind my house....
And so occupied, I didn't even see the mamma bear and her 2 cubs....
Which I shoulda be
worried about and rightfully fearing Wish you well, hope you can find some relaxation bro....no need to hurry death, she'll get to each of us regardless.
