The Biblical prophet Habbakuk was once in shoes very similar to ours, and asked God the same question you're asking. God responded, "The just man shall live by faith."

This country is in the process of being greatly humbled by God for its wickedness. Our prosperity will be taken away because we made an idol out of wealth, our freedom will be taken away because we preferred licentiousness to the real liberty of obedience to God, we will suffer defeat, even our unity as a nation may come to an end. God's chastisement always consists of giving the sinner what he prefers to God, until it either destroys him or he sickens of it and repents. Obama is God's instrument of punishment precisely because so many Americans prefer his snake oil to honest work and moral living.

Through everything that must come to pass, keep your faith in God, not in America or any other nation. There will come a time to pick up the pieces, and there will be pieces left to pick up. And maybe then we can rebuild that shining city on a hill of which President Reagan once spoke so eloquently.

Great post. Joseph de Maistre was right "Every country has the government it deserves”. Unfortunately, this country deserves Obama.
