Today’s Thought “Violating My Purpose” G. Ward

Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”

A highly quoted expression will/can be grossly misapplied particularly when interrogation thereafter immediately causes the hearer to determine that all portrayed is societal failure vs. lack in personal adherence.

So it appears that the Prophet Hosea (from more than 3000 yrs. ago) shares a similar plight with those messengers of truth for this era. Selfish prioritization for mankind is the culprit (cf. 2 Ti.3:1-5). Claimants of blessings from most insists that one’s plans supersede its Maker’s, when Holy God has left the building (1 Jn.1:6) and the cursing pronounced unto those who lack compliance even ruin their children’s future joy while blaming evil forces, failing to see that the false prophet is not someone else, it may be them (cf. Deut. 28:1-14, *15-68).
