I came across this verse in my reading this morning.  How timely this verse is.  We know, of course, that God’s word, which is living, active and sharper than any two edged sword is always alive, replete with meaning.  Some truths are self evident, some we must dig deeper to behold God’s mysterious ways.  But before I dig deeper into this verse, my question for myself and for you is can the righteous do when they see foundations being destroyed?  What is your answer.

Your sense or answer is that when the foundations are being destroyed we must put our hope and our trust in God.  I believe that type of faith is always true, and will always be rewarded.

My initial answer is of course to “get to work”.   Rebuild those foundations.  But hold on a minute, is that what God really wants?  Does God sometimes destroy foundations so that they can never again be built.  Or does he tear down so that we can once again lay proper foundations.  Does he ever leave any of the original foundation, repair and/or add on to it?  I’m going to spend some time exploring what’s happened through history.  When I’m through, I’m confident I’ll have my answer.

My feeling is that not only are the foundations of America being destroyed, but even more sinister is my sense that the erosion of our once sturdy walls lies in a weakened infrastructure.  Yes, we need to repair, rebuild and even replace, but if we choose a method other than those tried and true, methods devised by weak men, rather than God’s wise counsel, we will be ensnared by the work of our hands.

So, let us begin.  To be continued  . . .

It got shipped off to China via Washington, D.C.
And I know I’m nothin’ special, there are plenty more like me
Just the same
I thought I knew the rules of the game

I stood up for this country that I love
I came back from the desert to a wife and kids to feed
I’m not sayin’ Uncle Sam should give me what I need
My offer stands
I’ll pull my weight you give me half a chance

I went up to a congressman and said to him “you know
Our government is letting people down”
He said he’d need a lot of help to buck the status-quo
I said there was a bunch of us around

I’m a Born Again American, conceived in Liberty
My Bible and the Bill of Rights, my creed’s equality
I’m a Born Again American, my country ‘tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream from sea to shining sea

My brother’s welding chassis at the plant
He’s earning what our granddad did in 1948
While CEOs count bonuses behind the castle gates
How can they see
When all they care about’s the do re mi

It’s getting where there’s nowhere left to turn
Not since the crash of twenty-nine have things been so unfair
So many of our citizens are living in despair
The time has come
To reaffirm that hope’s not just for some

The promise of America’s surrendering to greed
The rule is just look out for number one
But brace yourself ‘cause some of us have sown a different seed
A harvest of the spirit has begun

I’m a Born Again American conceived in liberty
My Bible and The Bill Of Rights
My creed’s equality
A Born Again American, my country ‘tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream from sea to shining sea

It’s clear my country’s soul is on the line
She’s hungering for something that she lost along the way
The principle the framers called upon us to obey
That in this land
The people’s will must have the upper hand

I felt the calling once before and took a sacred vow
And faithful to that vow I have remained
I hear the calling once again, my country needs me now
And to her cause I have been re-ordained

I’m a Born Again American conceived in liberty
My Bible and the Bill Of Rights, all people living free
A Born Again American, my country ‘tis of me
And everyone who shares the dream
From sea to shining sea
And everyone who shares the dream
From sea to shining sea
