Article #7: Stop Being Destroyed!
"my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Ho. 4:6)
"...my people are gone into captivity, because they have no
knowlege; and their honorable men are famished, and their
multitude dried up with thirst." (Is. 5:13)
Destroyed: to ruin completely; spoil, to tear down or break
up, to render useless or ineffective, to impair severely
something such as the spirit, health or effectiveness of;
break, crush, overwhelm, ruin
Captivity: bondage, detention, enslavement, contrained
Lack: to be without or in need of, to be missing or
deficient, to be in need of something, absence
How many times have you said "if I knew then what I know
now?" I must admit, I have said those words alot. But the
truth of the matter is, I could have known it and should
have known it. But like so many others, I rejected the
wisdom and knowledge of God's Word into my ears and instead
my ears were tuned in with another frequency, the wisdom
and
knowledge of the world and what appeared to be common
sense. Therefore,
I would be destroyed (impaired) and in captivity
(contrained). Because of my rejection and the consequences
from rejecting God's wisdom and knowledge, that good ol'
prayer wheel stayed turning, "Lord help me, Lord deliver
me, Lord provide for me, Lord do this or that!" It is
during this time that one says "boy if I knew then what I
know now."
Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now have I kept
thy
word. (Ps. 119:67) My question to you today is, "are you
rejecting what you can or should know, are you being
destroyed or in captivity?" Our creator says it is because
of a lack of knowledge. Do you desire to come out, then get
the shovel and go digging for the hidden treasure in his
Word, but don't forget to apply it.
Daily Prayer:
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and
come in before this people, teach me good judgment and
knowledge. Give me understanding and I will keep your word,
make me to go in the path of thy commandments and incline
my heart unto your word and not to coveteousness. Turn away
my eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken me in thy way.
(2Chr. 1:10, Ps. 119:66, 33-37)
