The Land Mourns
Hear the word of The Lord, people of Israel, for The Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land: there is no truth, no faithful love, and no knowledge of God in the land!
Cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
For this reason the land mourns,
And everyone who lives in it languishes,
Along with the wild animals and the birds of the sky;
Even the fish of the sea disappear.
Hosea 4:1-3
Sound familiar?
Sounds like our society!
What impacts me is that the land mourns, the wild animals and birds languish and the fish if the sea disappear.
We have our social groups that endeavor to protect our land, our animals, birds and fish yet they do not deal with the heart of the matter, sin.
The only tool mankind has is legislation and we know what effect it has, minimal.
The only true answer is God. God changes hearts and convicts of sin, it is He who leads to repentance. Once repentance is found change will happen.
What is the answer for the Christian, apart from being the greenest person around? Prayer! Care enough to pray for our society, pray for an outpouring of the spirit, pray for fellow Christians that they will walk in Godly ways and not be deceived.
