A Rebellious People

One cannot not escape it. If you read the news on a daily basis, it is more than evident this country is in trouble. How did we get to where we are now? Is there anyone to blame? People, it is a disease of the heart. Hear the word of the Lord:

And now, go, write it before them on a tablet and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come as a witness forever. For they are a rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the instruction of the LORD; who say to the seers, "Do not see," and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions, leave the way, turn aside from the path, let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel."--Isaiah 30:8-11

It may not be a direct warning to America, but the principle is definitely applicable. The wisdom and insight found in the word of God is there to help, guide, and direct us. It is not just good words written down on paper either. The word is living and is the power of God unto salvation. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit before it is too late.
