Do Not Rejoice

Hosea Ch.9:1

“Do not rejoice, O Israel, with joy like other nations, For you have played the harlot, forsaking your God.”

This does not simply refer to the physical act of adultery – it goes much deeper, into the spiritual realm of their heart and mind. Israel, like America, Britain and other nations today, went her own way, seeking after the "gods" of wealth, materialism, and power – sacrificing God’s laws at the alter of their own desires, even after repeated warnings. Like Gibeah (Israel), our nation will be punished because of its sin as well, if we will not change our depraved direction and return to our Christian roots.

Lord bring a great revival to this country and return us to your leadership once again. Amen.

The Truth

“The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.” (Ezra 8:22b)
