Is the sky falling?

I noticed the last two weeks or so I haven't been freaking out about the presidential race and the state of the country like usual. It seems to have happened at the same time that everyone else is going nuts about the "economic crisis". I think it's funny that all of a sudden it doesn't bother me. I'm thinking God took that anxiety from me for a reason right when everyone else would freak. I still think it is a bad idea for the federal government to intervene in private business, but hey they don't seem to care what we think. I think something that has changed for me the last few weeks is that I realized, like very few American Christians have, that our God has been at work long before this country came to existence and will still be in control after it's gone. I don't know if this country will recover, become insignificant in the world or be conquered by another country. What I have decided is that it doesn't matter much to me, God sent pagan empires to conquer the chosen nation of Israel, why would we think that we are more protected than they were. I don't think these things matter much to God. He sees the big picture and the smallest details of His chosen ones all.
I have allowed myself to stress out and become distracted by the things this country has to offer. We need to realize that the USA is not Gods chosen nation, Jesus made His kingdom open to every nation and every person who is willing. We just happen to live here. It is a great place likely the greatest on the planet and it would be sad to see such a good thing end or diminish. If that is what God chooses to do, or more likely if it is what we allow to happen, then who are we to complain. The majority of Christians on the planet and throughout history have lived and dies outside of this country and it's privileges.
So if we really believe what we say we really believe then it shouldn't matter much if the stock market crashes, the mortgage companies go bankrupt, or get bought out by our new socialist government. None of that is our salvation, Jesus is our salvation and there is no substitute. I believe that the people who founded this great country knew the greatness of the Kingdom of God and they tried to set up a reflection of that Kingdom here. That ideal seems so long ago. Just like the Israelites of old, when enough generations pass, they start to forget where they came from, and who it was that brought them out of slavery and into the great land.
So, I'm not gonna stress out, I have my druthers but there are a lot of people in this land that want something different. That may all be part of the plan for all I know, so why worry.
If we really believe what we say we really believe it shouldn't be that big of a problem for anyone else either. Don't you think.
