Pray harder within God’s Will and live holier lives than ever before...

7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.  Hosea 8:7 (KJV)

Israel had sinned against God by falling away and worshiping lifeless idol, the image of a calf.  In doing so they set in motion events that would bring utter calamity in their lives.  Blinded by their own greed and fleshly desires they ignored common sense, nature and even God’s Law.  The fruit of their labors would come back to haunt them on the road to destruction.  Sadly, our nation has followed the lead of the Godless nations of the world and now she too “shall reap the whirlwind” of God’s wrath.  As God’s People we must now draw closer to God and each other, pray harder within God’s Will and live holier lives than ever before.
