As Americans, we can stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, giving us the advantage of surveying the times from the height of their perspective. Our country was built on core values and founded on the divine institutions of freedom, marriage, family, and nationalism. These values act as a rudder to keep us on course. Your family and your church are where you develop your norms and standards. The rudder in America, our guiding force is gone. We are floating helplessly and about to crash on the rocks. Your spiritual life is the drift sock that can slow down our descent as a nation. To regain control, we must recognize we have lost our rudder from turning away from God. We must realize our position both nationally and personally and recover our destiny. “If My people will humble themselves and turn away from their wicked ways, seek My face and pray, I will hear, I will answer, I will heal their land” (2 Chron 7:14). If we recover our destiny, we can Reap the rewards God has promised.
