To Be Least

      After the attacks on the two Trade Towers, there was an increase of the usage of "God bless America." It appeared on signs, you heard people use it and of course it was in the songs. However, will God really bless America?

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse- the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known. (Deut. 11:26-28)

      This quote is God speaking to the Israelites, after God had told them all His requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands. This verse very clearly states that God will bless the Israelites if they obey his commands, but a curse if they do not.
      When you turn on the television, it does not take long to figure out that the majority of the programming is immoral. The American culture as a whole has become saturated in immorality. America as a whole has turned away from the Lord and has disobeyed his commands.
      Because the majority of America has been living disobedient lives, I think it is very possible that God will not bless America. When the Israelites started living in disobedience, God removed His blessing. He sent other nations to attack and defeat Israel. However, when they turned back to God and obeyed His commands, God blessed them and gave them victory over their enemies. I believe the same applies to America and every other nation.
