Today’s Thought “Flowing With Milk and Honey” G. Ward

“The word of the Lord which came to Hosea the son of Beeri, during the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.” Hosea 1:1

 

The American plight awaits the next festive event that promotes a gathering point with others indicative of a longing for something more substantive to displace one’s own miseries. Thousands of years ago the message from Holy God unto the Prophet Hosea sought to extinguish a notion of anticipatory prosperity enabled by earthen kingdoms vs. absolute adherence unto their Maker.

The struggle in two opinions perceived (Mt.7:13-14) is the ultimate disconnect precluding an eternity with our Mighty King to contrast the magnificence of the next “big show”. The message of God is still with insistence from His priests of this era (you and me – 1 Pe.2:5) in sharing an avoidance towards an adulterous spirit found in man that subtracts from consideration in being more thrilled over venues of excitement vs. when God cracks the sky; sending Jesus along with the dead in Christ, for those of us who insist HE is LORD (Rev.1:7).

Happy Tuesday!
