GOD calls us.

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till He come and rain righteousness upon you. Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. (Hosea 10:12-13)

This is part of the continual prophecy and pronouncement against the northern kingdom of Israel.  It is GOD's desire that everyone repent and return unto Him.  His people especially should be working and loving as He is.  The Lord Jesus Christ commands everyone to repent of their sIn, and He has commissioned His people to reach those that are without in this present world.  A world that is under as much judgment for sIn as Israel was, and will be judged.  GOD's wrath will be poured out and this present world will experience the tribulation that is deserved because of sIn.  The people of this world, that GOD says are children of wrath, will also be judged because they have denied the Lord Jesus and gone their own way.  A way that seems right, but is the way of death.  In fact, GOD says they are already under condemnation; because they have not believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Those that have not repented of their sIn, placed their faith in the finished work on the Cross, and received Jesus Christ in complete surrender to Him are 'dead men walking'.  Jesus said, "ye must be born again"

I pray that you will hear this Word from the Lord and respond to Him today.  And if you are already one of His, tell someone of His love for all of us.

In Christ,
