America This Week by Byron Foxx December 20, 2019

This week we witnessed a majority of the House of Representatives vote in favor of impeachment of the President. For months we have heard the most opprobrious language hurled back and forth between leaders.

What is next? Our tremendous United States Constitution states: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.” (Article 1, Section 3, Clause 6)

However, even with the power of our political leaders, plus our government agencies with their manifold programs, they can not solve the problems of our beloved country. Whether our country survives is in the sovereign Hands of God.

What should our leaders and citizens remember? America should be supremely invested in doing God’s will. God judges countries based on obedience or disobedience of the mandates of Heaven. If America continues in our present disobedience, we should expect nothing short of insurrection, riot, moral decay, and finally total disaster.

The Lord who judged Sodom and Gomorrah, the Lord who judged Israel, the Lord who judged Nazi Germany; is the same Lord who sits in His sovereignty today. America is subject to the Lord.

It will always be true: “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)

May every American repent of all known sin, and give ourselves completely to obedience to God Almighty and His Holy Word!


The brief article you have just read was written by my friend, Byron Foxx. His point is one we all should reflect on at the end of this tumultuous week: the hope of our nation is not political – it is spiritual. Please take a moment to pray for our president and elected officials (1 Timothy 2:1-2a), and for a spiritual awakening that will bring God’s people to repentance and sinners to Christ (1 Timothy 2:2b-4).

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.
