22But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do everything I say, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. 23For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them.
24You must not bow down to their gods or serve them or follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces.
“Concerning the people to be driven out, it is worthy of note that this paragraph shows that ‘their gods’ were their undoing. Everything in the life of a man or a nation depends on the character of its worship.” (Morgan)
Morgan hit the nail on the head! I look at the founding of our country and wonder how George Washington was victorious when he should have failed. I believe it was his faith in Jesus Christ that carried him and our nation to victory! It was the character of his worship!
Interesting read on George Washington, his faith and battles when he would have failed and died.
Please pray for our country that it will return to God, that He will guide our leaders and expose those that are in it for themselves.
Merry Christmas, David
