Hosea 8:5
"Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them:
how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?"
Israel had renounced God for the likeness of a calf, and now in the misfortunes which had overtaken them, their calf had cast them off. What is it that you are putting in the place of God? Power, wealth, the help of influential friends? Sooner or later it will fail you. How different is the One who encourages us, saying, “I will not fail nor forsake thee,” and who promises to carry us to we are old and grey. The persistence with which Israel turned to other gods, left God no option but to put them back into the hot seat like Egypt had been, which would finally burn their chances of going to the promise land. Only when we walk before God with a perfect heart are we strong and happy. My Friends, Once you entangle yourself with evil alliances, and other gods you lay yourself open to many sorrows. So I ask you and all others; "if you haven't already, now is the time to seek The Kingdom Of God."
Amen!
