"All the nations will ask: 'Why has the LORD done this to this land? Why this fierce burning anger?'" (Deuteronomy 29:24)

God will often gain fame and renown by displaying His blessing or miracles upon a people or nation. This display will cause the nations to see and fear God as He shows off. Conversely, God receives renown when His blessing is removed. This scripture explains how the nations will ask what on earth did these people do to deserve this? What incredible force could inflict such devastation? Even under curse God's renown is accomplished.

Does this scripture fortell the future for our one nation founded under God? If our when America were to fail, would the nations knowing our Christian roots recognize our abandon from whom our country was founded? Or, would they scoff at the powerless God who could not care for his followers?

"Jesus- use me to increase God's renown. Cause me to be obedient so that our Father receives most glory from my existence, whether my household or nation's future holds."
