Proverbs 16:7 – When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

People always want peace and contentment, but they do not have it because they do not do that which pleases the Lord.

God removed his coming judgment upon Nineveh because they repented and turned to God. God brought his judgment later because they turned away from him.

God blessed Easter even though they were in captivity at the time.

Solomon – See I Kings 11 and the three adversaries God raised up against him.

1. An old buried grudge restored. I Kings 11:14-17 - (II Sam. 8:14) about 48 years before. God had prepared Hadad while David was yet alive!! Hadad was a little child when he left Israel going to Egypt for safety. Verse 14 says God stirred him up. Verse 22 shows us that Hadad had no discomforts in Egypt or any reason to go to Israel, at least that he knew of -- God stirred him up.

2. I Kings 11:23-25 - God stirred up Rezon. He was also prepared while David yet lived!! II Sam. 10:1-19 - Who would ever believe that an event that happened so long ago would be used of God to stir up an adversity against Solomon?

3. I Kings 11:26 - Jeroboam the son of one of Solomon's servants rebelled against Solomon.

a. Note I Kings 10:8, the servants are said to be happy.

b. I Kings 11:27-40 - God stirred up Jeroboam.

c. There was no other reason for Jeroboam being against Solomon.

Hezekiah had peace during his kingdom because he sought the Lord. See the reign of Ahaz, Hezekiah’s dad in II Chronicles 28.

Verse 5 – delivered to Syria.

Verse 6 – Pekah, the son of Remaliah.

Verse 7 – Zichri.

Verse 8 – 200,000 captives carried away.

Verse 17 – The Edomites came against them.

Verse 18 – The Philistines came against them.

Verse 20 – The Assyrians came against them.

Verse 23 – Sacrificed to the gods of Damascus.

The reason the United States is in a war against terrorism is because our ways do not please the Lord.

In 1972 the United States of America legalized abortion, now some 40,000,000 babies have been put to death so men and women do not have to pay the consequences of their sexual sins.

Homosexuality is now a protected species, just like the spotted owl and little bugs. God put the government in charge of removing homosexuals from society because they are a plague on the land, but because our government protects them, we are all in trouble. AIDS is filling our land, but it is forgotten that AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease. The way to stop the disease is to stop homosexuals and adulterers and fornicators. In days gone by our country had laws on the books about these things, but these laws are slowly being removed.

God is being slowly and systematically removed from public – no "under God" in the pledge.

Even our elected officials (to our president) do not understand the United States is a republic, not a democracy. We get our right to freedom from God, not the state. The people (state) rule a democracy; God rules a republic.
