Lack of knowledge

Hello all,

I have recently been meditating on Hosea 4:1 - 6. God talks about how His people have a lack of knowledge of Him in their land. He goes on to talk about the wickedness that is in the land and how His people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. We may think that the wickedness we are experiencing right now is all new, it really isn't.

I think the most disheartening part of this passage is not that the people have a lack of knowledge of God because we could remedy that by getting the gospel out there. The really saddening thing is where God says in verse 6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee..."

People don't want to have a knowledge of God. They are too busy for Him. This lack of a desire to have a knowledge of God is what is destroying our people today, just like it was back in Hosea's day.

If people have a desire to learn about God He will meet them wherever they are and reveal Himself to them. It doesn't matter if they are in the furthest, darkest corners of a rain forest. If they want to find Him He will be found. But, if people don't want to find Him He will hide himself from them and their destruction will be great.

Even though the majority of people in our country do not want to have a knowledge of God we still need to get it out there for those that do have a desire to learn and for any hardened hearts that God has been working on.

Must go. Have a good day.
