Psalm 81:10-14 (NKJV)
10 I am the LORD your God,
Who brought you out of the land of Egypt;
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 But My people would not heed My voice,
And Israel would have none of Me.
12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart,
To walk in their own counsels.
13 Oh, that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn My hand against their adversaries.

This is a lament against Israel. How much more must God lament against
the United States. We are perhaps the most blessed nation in the world!
And we have turned away from God! He promises to provide needs and
defend from enemies for those who listen. But as a nation we have not,
so He says he gave them over to their own stubborn heart!
What can I say, we reap what we sow. We have taught our youth that there
is no God and that they must find their own way! So, why should we be
surprised if we destroy ourselves!
+++ But God promises forgiveness and deliverance when we turn to Him!
What a great God!
