Key To Blessing

Good Morning,

Reading in Hosea, I am made aware that God is the same throughout time.  Notice this passage that explains Israel having left God and began trusting in their self-created “safety.”  

Hosea 8:14 “For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.” 

Trusting in man-made walls or fenced cities, they ignored their Maker. 

The result?  God burned their cities. 

Has America forgotten her God?  Have Americans trusted in and loved gold and silver? 

vs. 4 “They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. “

What of the Bible?  It has been explained away, ignored, mocked, ridiculed, and as such, all the blessings that come with a love for Scripture are also lost.

vs.12 "I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.” 

The rich and politically powerful are seeing their world burned and shredded. We are watching a collapse of all the liberal, God-denying that people have trusted in. They sought to toss out the Bible and morality, elevate perversion, and magnify filthy living.  These are not days to expect any favors from the Almighty.  Rather, these are days to humbly repent of the vile ideas and actions that mock God and His Word and to beg for mercy.

“…but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.”

Remember, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” 

Cursed is the nation whose god is gold.

Maybe we need to get back to the Bible, church, and raising our children in Sunday school rather than pushing gender identity and the worship of nature  nonsense.
