Leviticus 26: Who is to Blame?

“‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
 “‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove savage beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
 “‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you.  - Lev. 26:3-9 NIV

Anyone who wants to understand what has happened to our country need only read the first verse of this passage.  There was a time, in our founding when, perhaps not all, but a good portion of the citizens were people of faith.  They obeyed God's laws as well as those of the founding fathers and as a result, this nation prospered.  I fear that now the covenant has been broken.  Not just by the people who were never people of faith, but by those who consider themselves to be the children of God as well.  I know that I have failed in many ways to follow God's decrees.  I know that my sins are covered by the blood, that my soul is secure, but that does not mean that my sins are not contributing to the breaking of God's covenant with this country.  It may be something as simple as not loving my neighbor as myself, but any sin, either of commission or omission, threatens the covenant with God that secured prosperity for this country in years past.  We can't point fingers at the world and expect them to repent. We can't blame them for the situation in our country if we don't accept any part of the blame ourselves.
