Today's Scripture *March 24, 2009*
Hosea 4: 6-9
My people are being destroyed
Because they don't know me.
Since you priests refuse to know me,
I refuse to recognize you as my priests.
Since you have forgotten the laws of your God,
I will forget to bless your children.
Because they don't know me.
Since you priests refuse to know me,
I refuse to recognize you as my priests.
Since you have forgotten the laws of your God,
I will forget to bless your children.
The more priests there are,
The more they sin against me.
They have exchanged the glory of God
For the shame of idols.
The more they sin against me.
They have exchanged the glory of God
For the shame of idols.
“When the people bring their sin offerings, the priests get fed.
So the priests are glad when the people sin!
So the priests are glad when the people sin!
‘And what the priests do, the people also do.’
So now I will punish both priests and people
For their wicked deeds.
So now I will punish both priests and people
For their wicked deeds.
God accused the religious leaders of keeping the people from knowing Him. They were supposed to be spiritual leaders, but they had become leaders in wrongdoing. The people may have said to one another, "It must be ok if the priests do it". Spiritual leadership is a heavy responsibility. Whether you teach a church Sunday school class, hold a church office, or lead a Bible study, don't take your leadership responsibilities lightly. Be a leader who leads others to God.
God, we want to be leaders who lead other into Your presence.
May our lives motivate other to know You more. May our words reflect Your love, grace, forgiveness, mercy, and passion for others.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..

April
