Why - 9/11

Why is it permissible to sing songs about the Lord Almighty holding the whole world in his hands, and his amazing grace that saved us all, and invoke his blessing upon this country on a day such as this; but on all other days said things are, best case scenario, merely left unspoken? Why is it that God comes into play in such a major way on a day of tragedy, and the days of remembrance following, but is blotted out of society and politics and even the american life on any other day? In days of major decision making, new faces of America inaugurated, public celebration of a holiday, even just in literature posted on or around governmental buildings, God has been taken out. He is ignored, thrown into a pile with all other religious figure heads, hushed, and even replaced. Yet when tragedy strikes, when our nation is brought to its knees, upon whom do Americans nation-wide call? God. We cry out for help from God. The same God we push to the side and cover up when we "don't need him." How would a father feel if his children ignored him, told him he didn't matter, wasn't needed, and in fact just a name among many equal; and then later when they were hurting come calling on his name for help, blessing, and rescue? Would not that father feel unappreciated, used, and even as far as insulted by this behavior? This is how we are treating our Father God. Our nation places his great name in our pledge and on our currency, and we use a Bible for inauguration ceremonies, but these simple gestures are being placed into jeopardy because of the insistence that it is not proper to support one religion more than another. However when the rubber meets the road and a tragic situation arises, the name of the Lord God Almighty is invoked. Why? Why can we not remember his name always? Why can we not cry out to him even in the daily labors of life? Why is he in such a tiny box pulled out only when the last direction left to look is up? Our God should be bigger than that. He should reign from our hearts and lives and nation, not from a tiny box we keep locked in storage for days like today. May the hearts of America be broken open to the truth, and may the Lord God once again take his rightful place, front and center. God bless America.
