picture: the eagle's pride

Here is the picture that the Lord gave me: It looked like a political cartoon, there is a beautiful city abounding with blessing and the Lord is at the center. But the people push Him away from this place, and as they shove Him to remove Him, the picture crumbles and dispels behind them so they cannot go back because there is nothing to return to.

stars and stripes,
how you have soared at heights like the eagle
a nation once abounding with blessing
centered on the Lord
but the pride of your heart has deceived you
for you push away
the Blesser, the Giver, the Keeper, the King

this land of rich blessing
crumbles behind you
as you show your Savior the door

do not be surprised
to find when you seek to return
that you cannot go back
to find that blessing no more abounds
amid stars and stripes
to find that your wings grow tired
and heights become depths
for such is the ruin that comes
when you remove
the Blesser, the Giver, the Keeper, the King

o Lord, have mercy
may the removers fail to
move You
