Deuteronomy 19: 19-20
... Thus you shall purge the evil from among you. And the rest will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such an evil thing among you.
God is such a good Father to us. He has laid out His laws and statutes and regulations, and He has provided enforcement so that there would be accountability and consequences for not obeying Him.
All so that the rest will hear and obey, and God would then be able to bless them.
We prevent God from being able to bless us by our own sin--our own stubbornness and rebellion. But when consequences are dramatic and immediate, then we gain the fear and respect and awe of God to impel us to obey. Then we can receive good things from His hand again.
O my Father, show us how to promote Your righteousness in our society, so that we will be able to receive Your good in our government and in our Nation, live in peace and freedom; and You will receive the glory!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
