There is nothing new

If you will notice one of the headlines to the left, it says:
For Israel, it is an absolute must to bond its interests to the White House's foreign policy for the security sake.

It makes sense, does it not? After all, America is still arguably the most powerful nation in the world and certainly one of Israel's only 'friends'. It only makes sense to align oneself with the policies of your protector. That is not a new philosophy.

In 2 Kings 15:19, an Assyrian named Tiglath-Pileser III came to attack Israel. Menahem, the king of Israel, decided it was time to align. He plundered his own people (primarily the rich) and gave it to TP3, thus buying him off. There really isn't that much more written about Menahem, except that 'he did evil in the sight of the Lord'.

Whenever we lean unto our own strength and understanding, we are doing 'evil' in the sight of God. He wants us to realize we cannot do it without Him, and it just might be that He will prove it to us if we force Him. Promised Land Living is allowing God to drive out the giants from before us. Then and only then can we rest assured that we are secure when we sleep at night.

Align with God - let the world run from before you.
