Hosea 4: 6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou has forgotten the law of thy GOD, I will also forget thy children.
Today's word is not one of those sweet to entreat words; it is a stern warning to all of us to be faithful to the WORD of the LORD. We are instructed to read, study and inwardly digest the WORD of the LORD; to meditate on the WORD day and night and to not allow the WORD of the LORD to fall into disuse. The Scripture is filled with instruction about the Holy Scripture - the Word of the LORD. So, READ AND STUDY IT, IT CONTAINS EVERYTHING WE NEED FOR LIFE.
I find that there is an even deeper meaning to this verse from Hosea. Who is the One who has all the knowledge? You will say, "that's easy, GOD has all the knowledge." and you are right. So, if we desire knowledge, we must ask of GOD, from Whom comes all knowledge. Therefore, we are back to the basis of all growth in Christ, pray without ceasing. Our relationship with JESUS brings wisdom and knowledge that cannot be derived from any other source. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD, KNOW HIM AND HE WILL LEAD YOU INTO ALL TRUTH, BECAUSE HE IS THE TRUTH.
The second part of this verse from Hosea is a very strong admonition; if you reject knowledge - which comes from GOD - you and your children will be rejected. I tremble at these words, because I see many people rejecting the WORD of the LORD and counting the Holy Scripture as unimportant. We who have embraced the LORD JESUS Christ as our Savior MUST pray for those who have rejected His Word - both the Scripture and JESUS Himself. To reject the WORD is to reject GOD and there is an awful price to pay for that.
PRAY FOR THE LOST THAT THE GREAT SHEPHERD WILL SEEK THEM AND FIND THEM. PRAY FOR THE CONVERSION OF SOULS.
