Sat.’s Devo - God’s Charge

Read: Hosea 4:1-5:15; 2 John 1:1-13; Psalm 125:1-5; Proverbs 29:9-11 The Lord brought a charge against his people of Israel. He found them guilty of adultery, violence, murder and wickedness. He said there was no faithfulness, kindness or knowledge of God in the land. That is quite a statement. He told them they could not blame anyone but themselves. They were the guilty ones. They chose to listen to false prophets, worship false gods and forsake their God who had faithfully delivered them and given them everything. Their sentence would be total destruction. *** God brought down an sentence of judgement on the priests, the leaders, and the members of the royal family. Their arrogance had testified against them. They robbed the people of God of the truth and in their weakness, they turned to Assyria for help. They would not rescue them but devour them. God would stand back and let it happen until Israel admitted their guilt and turned to back to him. *** In John’s second letter, he commended the church in Jerusalem for her walk with the Lord. John had met some of her members and found them living in the truth. He wrote to remind them to continue to walk in love and obey the Lord. There was much false teaching out there, and he wanted to admonish them to walk in the things they had been taught from the beginning. *** I love what our Psalm says, “the wicked will not rule the land of the godly.” Amen. Lord, we stand on this promise and thank you for how you are leading our President and his administration. Continue to give them wisdom and keep them in your ways. Thank you for protecting our military and giving them victory after victory. Thank you that you are bringing peace and righteousness to the world for your name sake.
