I think I am blessed, I think we receive blessings, I am just not sure that I define what has been going on in America a blessing corporately.
I say that because, we approve abortions, we put things above God, we laugh at and mock his son, Sexual perversion and homosexuality is ok. And we are favored how?

As a country America has the best of everything. We have so much food that some people here eat themselves to death. Rare is the person that goes without food in America. We have the best healthcare, the best govt system, the best military.
Most Americans will never realize what it is like to not have these things.

You know. People in other parts of the world (at least in Europe anyway) don't envy these things in America. Infant mortality is higher in the US than the EU, for example (see https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html). The best government is debatable. Many prefer the systems in their own country, and I'm not sure how you would measure 'best' anyway - the US system seems as representative as most other developed countries.
OK - the US does have the best military - most definitely the best at shooting things. Well done!
America has some fantastic things about it - but it isn't really a competition now, and I do not think God is 'favoring' the US. Scripture tells me He is no respecter of persons, and I think there is plenty of evidence to suggest that plenty is not a measure of favour. Compare Paul in his prison and Israel under occupation with the luxiury and plenty enjoyed by the Roman elite. Who was favored by God?

I hope wise men will continue to seek Christ Jesus, and put Him first in their lives.
