Today’s Thought “A New Prophet” G. Ward Jeremiah 6:10 To whom shall I speak and give warning that they may hear? Behold, their ears are closed and they cannot listen. Behold, the word of the LORD has become for them a rebuke; they take no delight in it. Whereas my brother and I were committed to our newspaper route as boys and those anticipating knowledge of local and world events depended on this delivery before the evening television news would air, we now have news at an instant, having become calloused to interrogating its meaning. Residing in a free society can more purport exploration in self-gratification (than total dependence on their Creator) that blinds what ordinarily would be obvious warnings (particularly when protective agencies in that same society are numerous - *cf. Ps.127:1). Today’s news is witness of a pandemic subsiding, while mass shootings increase and potential war between the Israelis and Palestinians is heightened. Moreover, our free society is vulnerable (to ransomware attacks from Russian hackers) the more as we’ve become absolutely dependent on computer technology that controls every significant power grid whereby retrieving fuel (today) has become next to impossible. Have the religious notified God in all of this (Ps.139:4, Heb.4:13)?
