I believe that He is intricately involved in our attempt at governing ourselves. He is uncovering views about ourselves that we have been able to hide for our long existence. The belief that we are worthy of the mercies that we have received from His hands. We know it is only by the Grace of God that we are still enjoying the freedoms that we have been given and inherited.
Perhaps we have inherited a flawed and broken system of governance, but it is still "One Nation Under God!". That is a mercy.
Can we find the Greatness of the Nation? Can we learn to work together, the Haves and the Have-Nots?
It is most certainly the mission of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to model the truth of this to our very broken nation and attempt at democracy. God is showing us that humility and the fear of the Lord is needed and that His antipathy to PRIDE is the greatest enemy to our unity. Our healing is to come from bringing ourselves down to the project. If God resists the PROUD, we must also resist our own pride!
