What Is Required of Us?

What does the Lord require of us as a nation--or as an American citizen?  In our "Pledge of Allegiance," we profess to be "one nation under God."  Have we remained faithful to what we were founded upon?

God created the earth, and in Genesis 1:28 it says that God blessed man (Adam) and gave him all that He had created.  Then He told Adam to "be fruitful and multiply" and to "rule over the land."  But Adam became preoccupied with other things.  Thus, he fell  into sin and lost his position and his prosperity.  Know this: 

"Those who have the greatest knowledge of truth will be held accountable for the greatest fruitfulness." 

God has blessed America abundantly over the course of history.  But for the past 3 or 4 decades, we have begun to decay and decline.  Why?  Could it be that we have stepped away and disobeyed--or simply neglected our duties?  Or have we just become so greedy that we no longer remember what was required of us?

There are only 3 things the Lord requires of us:  (1)  To do justly (be fair and honest); (2) To love mercy (be compassionate); (3)  To walk humbly with your God.  [Micah 6:8]

Are we, as a nation (or as individuals), meeting these requirements?  Remember: 


"To whom much is given, much will be required!"  [Luke 12:48]
