I Shudder To Think What Is Next

644 - Today's Prime Time Devo comes from 2Sa 21:1 Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, "It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites." Our nation has been extremely blessed. We have never really experienced famines of biblical proportions. Oh, there was a time in the 1930's when our grandparents and great grandparents had to scrape by due to the great depression, and at the same time there was a great drought going on, known as the dust bowl. But for the most part, we have been able to withstand the occasional droughts. The drought of David's day was brought on by God because Saul had killed some Gibeonites. We have no record of this event in the Bible, but God kept a record of it, and as we said last time, “innocent blood” has a language of it's own that God's ears are specifically tuned to hear. There were some monumental changes in our nation and in the world in the “roaring 20's” and I believe these changes prompted God to act via the depression and the dust bowl in order to get our attention........but we missed it. It was in the 20's that the theory of evolution took root in our nation, most notably at the Scopes trial of 1925. No longer a theory, the nation bought it as the gospel truth and it is still taught that way in our nations schools and universities. And here is the bottom line problem with the theory of evolution. It removes God as the Creator of life, and when God is thus removed, life is no longer sacred. And when life is no longer viewed as sacred, an awful lot of innocent blood is spilled. Just follow the trail folks. Evolution spawned the eugenics movement which spawned the philosophy of Hitler's holocaust and we still didn't get it! We continue to leave God out of the equation of life in the United States as we have aborted over 55 million unborn babies created in His image since 1973. The depression, the dust bowl, Hitler, and we still don't get it. I shudder to think of what is next for us and our children if we don't wise up and repent of our ways in the matter of spilling innocent blood.
