Be thankful unto Him …
Unthankfulness is one of the marks of the last days. We see it all around us. But especially in the hypocrisy of those who live under God’s blessings, benefit from them, even enjoy them – yet decry them.
For example, think of the politicians who live in prosperity built by capitalism but who are pushing socialism. Or People who live in America – yes, the same freedom-loving Country that saved the world from Hitler’s white supremacy and today defends its citizens from the ideologies of Islamic supremacy – but claim it’s a country of white supremacy and oppression. Think of the multitude living under the blessings of Judeo-Christian laws - equality of the sexes, one race under God, and freedom of speech and religion – who use those very freedoms to deny the One who gave it to them and who seek to overthrow everything “Christian”.
At best, these people are unthankful and woefully ignorant. At worst, they are treasonous themselves or, as the Communist Manifest happily describes them, “useful idiots” who further the cause of outside interests. They are bribed by ten dollars to turn over a million dollars.
Those who treat their blessings like curses will lose them. What will the Lord do? He will do as He did for Israel, He will remove their blessings and the godly who uphold His laws … “Behold, the Lord will take away the mighty man and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the elderly. The captains, and the honorable, and the counselors, and the wise craftsmen, and the eloquent speakers. And I will give children to be their leaders (since they hated all wisdom), and spoiled brats shall rule them … because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord.” – (Isaiah 3)
“Be thankful unto Him and bless His Name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations.”
