DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- COURT IS IN SESSION

COURT IS IN SESSION Hosea 4:1-2, 6
 
" 'Hear the word of the LORD, you children of Israel, for the LORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land: "There is no truth or mercy or knowledge of God in the land. By swearing and lying, killing and stealing and committing adultery, they break all restraint, with bloodshed upon bloodshed.......My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priests for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children." ' "
 
Hear Ye, Hear Ye.  Court is now in session. God's charge against the people of Israel: A lack of the knowledge or acknowledging of God and His law. They didn't just forget God's law; they rejected it. The evidence: The forsaking of truth and mercy, and instead, swearing and profanity, lying, stealing, immorality and murder. Without the knowledge of God's law, there was no restraint of wickedness. The verdict: Guilty. The sentence: Because they had abandoned God and His law, He would abandon them. Does this sound like any nation I can think of today? God help up!!!
 
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: When people reject God and His law, there is nothing left to restrain evil.

Have a "knowledge" day. Love you.
