Broken Nation

Leviticus 19:29
"Do not degrade your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the land will turn to prostitution and be filled with wickedness."

Habakkuk 1:2-5
"How long, O Lord must I call for help? But you do not listen! "violence" I cry but you do not come to save. Must I forever see this sin and misery all around me? Wherever I look, I see destruction and violence. I am surrounded by people who love to argue and fight. the law has become paralyzed and useless, and there is no justice given int he courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous and justice is perverted with bribes and trickery. The lord replied "look at the nations and be amazed! Watch and be astounded at what I will do! For I am doing something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it."

There is HOPE.............

El Roi (The God who sees) "the eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching evil and good" (Prov 15:3)
Adonai/Yahweh (the LORD) "Thou art my Lord; I have no good besides Thee" (psalm 16:2)
Jehovah-jireh (The LORD will provide) "Who provides food for the raven when it's your cry out?" (Job 38:41)
Jehovah-rapha (the LORD who heals) "Heal me o Lord, and I will be healed, save me and I will be saved for thou art my praise." (Jer. 17:14)

and so many other names of course...There is hope in the LORD and His promises and love endures forever! I was so amazed by the testimonies of the precious women we met. They each said they felt redeemed and loved. Some said they were restored and happier without money then when they had plenty of money because they were daughters of the King! They were all such an inspiration and I will never forget their testimonies and examples of praise!
