We are Our Own Worst Enemy

Many Americans see disaster after disaster happening. What’s the cause? Allow me to suggest it may be we ourselves.
 
In Deuteronomy 28, God told the Israelites if they diligently obeyed his commands he would bless them, their land, crops, and animals, making their nation the highest in all the earth. Their enemies would flee from them. He warned them not to look how other nations worshipped their false gods (Deuteronomy 12:29-32).
 
He also told them if they didn’t obey his commands, curses would overtake them in all the areas where they had been blessed. History shows they soon started worshipping false gods from the surrounding nations all the while thinking they were still obeying the true God. They were not diligent. God had to correct them different times until finally many were destroyed, and the rest were taken into slavery and dispersed.
 
America for a short while was the greatest, most respected, feared and blessed nation in the whole world. But not now.
 
What has changed? God says he’s not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34), and he doesn’t change (Numbers 23:19).
 
So logically, is the problem our enemies or us?
