To Proudly Exult

Ezekiel 31: 14

Let the tree of no other Nation proudly exult in its own prosperity, though it be higher than the clouds and it be watered from the depths. For all are doomed to die, to go down to the depths of the Earth (Sheol). They will land in the pit along with everything else on Earth.

O my Father, America has proudly exulted in her own prosperity--I have proudly exulted in America's prosperity and self-sufficiency. We have sinned greatly against You, the God Who granted us the ability to create wealth. 

It is You, the Almighty, merciful God, who has blessed our trust in You with mighty power and wealth in the World, and we have turned our backs in rebellion on You and taken, stolen, Your glory for ourselves! 

Father of all mercies, please forgive us! Let us cast down all the altars, shrines and idols, forsaking our sins, and return to You! Please wake up Your Church, Lord, bring righteousness back into our personal lives and into our National life. Brings us back to Yourself, Lord, before the end.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
