After Moses reminded the people of all which God had done, he told them, "This is why you must now acknowledge, and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God in the heavens above and on earth below, and that there is no other. And you must keep his statutes and commandments which I command you today, that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may have long life on the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever." (Deuteronomy 4:39-40)
We often do not understand the nature of our fortunes. It is true, if we endeavor, we will receive rewards for our efforts, but that does not mean our heart is fulfilled. We often witness wealthy celebrities and those of fame who seem to have everything of the world, yet, they crash in emotional tragedy. They find themselves void of that which fulfills the heart.
And so it is with nations. Some have risen to power as a matter of evil and conquest, but the nation which lives by evil will eventually die by evil. While evil may have its day within the world, the nation which turns from Him shall always have strife and will eventually collapse as they succumb to their greed, immorality and injustice. Through their arrogance, those who lead by evil will eventually become consumed by it. They will bring destruction upon themselves and those who blindly follow them.
The faithful have the opportunity to bring His peace and love to those who surround them. That which spreads within families may spread to communities. That which spreads to communities may spread to states and nations. That which spreads to states and nations may spread to the world. Can we imagine a world fulfilled by His peace and love? It is possible. It begins with the heart which turns to Him.
Blessed are those who live by His Word, for they will spread the blessings of His love.
