Thoughts for another day

May 25, 2009.

Today's verse: Hosea 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

How true our verse for today is. How true that we lack knowledge of our God. We probably have knowledge of all things but not what the Supreme Lord and Owner of the universe wants us to have. We have the brilliance, of course given us by God, to harness the minutest parts of substance and create atomic energy. We have the ability to send rockets into space and make satellites hover over the surface of the earth. But, hardly do we give God credit nor do we feel God has made it possible for us to do all we’ve done! Know ye and do not differ, it is by the Lord God of heaven and earth that all knowledge occurs and only by Him does life exist. Contest the one who says it is not by God but by itself that all happens, for lumps of mud hardly know when they’ll return to the earth that they dare talk ill about the One who fashioned them so beautifully and sully His Holy Name.

How lonely and insulted must our God feel, He who treads the circle of the earth, not finding His choice creation interested in Him one bit. Imagine our God looking down, seeing us scurry around doing our own little things, like we sometimes observe little ants moving here and there, doing things; and we find their work so inconsequential for they are as nothing to us; so also would it be with our God no? What Jesus said comes to mind, ‘What does it profit you if you gain the whole world and lose your own soul’ Mk 8:36.

My friend, reading this today, let your heart be stirred to know our God. He is so good which prompts the psalmist to say, ‘Oh taste and see that the Lord is good!’ Ps. 34:8. All your heart’s desires are known to Him and you know what, He loves you and intends to give you your hearts’ desires! Because He is your Father and you are His son/daughter and since He is the owner of the earth, won’t He give you the best that the earth has?
