Americans have become accustomed to lots of things being easy.
We have come to expect things becoming easier.
This is so much the case that many believe we deserve easy, and easier.
The American dream has become synonymous with rights to happiness more than “the pursuit of happiness.”
This turns into thinking somebody (some thing) owes us something we didn’t earn.
Even our spiritual perspective is affected—God, make my life easier, fix my problem, make me comfortable.
MAKING IT EASIER =
MAKING US WEAKER
Even our military is affected—today,
we’re counting on power, precision, and performance of weapons and technology, and brave people operating them, to defeat bad guys once again.
The sacrifice of all Americans in past wars is not considered by most Americans now, because we are insulated from such hard denial of our personal comfort.
We must be very thankful for our mighty armed forces, and our leadership to use it wisely and decisively.
Pray for all those involved, and for the effective function of all weapons.
For our country, read HARD IS NOT THE EXCEPTION on this site.
Spiritually, please read GREATEST CHALLENGE on this site.
