America Pleases God?

Dear Victorious,

As we celebrate America's independence, do you think God is pleased with our country?

Rick R. - Katy, TX

Dear Rick,

I suspect God is not particularly pleased with any political body in the world though. No country would please Him. Rather it would be the individual people in the country who would please or displease God. And they would do that through their devotion and obedience to God.

Are Americans sincerely devoted to God? Are Americans obedient to God? The answers are where we would find God's pleasure ... or displeasure. Sadly, when I look around, I see a whole lot of people who don't seem very devoted to God. Worse yet, even the people who claim to be devoted to God don't seem very obedient to Him.
