Hosea 4:6
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
Our daughter Lori has spent many hours helping me with Joyce over the past few months. About thirteen years ago Lori had a kidney and pancreas transplant and, since the surgery, she has been required to take a host of anti-rejection drugs.
I always prepare the medications that Joyce and I take each day, but it is nothing compared to the amount that Lori must take in order to insure that her body does not reject the transplanted organs.
This morning I heard the rattle of pills being counted and dropped into pill boxes. In order to keep track of the meds she needs to take daily, Lori uses containers that are designated with each day of the week and AM or PM. This way she always knows if she has taken the required dosages. Failure to take her proper medications could result in rejection and death.
Hosea warns that when we reject spiritual knowledge we are in danger of spiritual death. It is a tragic reality that many churches today are spiritually dead because they have rejected the spiritual knowledge that God’s Word provides. The ministers of some churches listen to the teachings of men rather than what the Lord God says. I choose to believe in God and obey His Word!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
