Have You Cheated On God?

In the book of Hosea we see God commanding the prophet to take in marriage "a wife of whoredoms" and with her a "children of whoredoms." The reason God gives for this command is that the nation of Israel "hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord." 

Israel had fallen out of sweet fellowship with their God, and God had now turned the flow of blessing and protection off. 

What was true for Israel, it true for many Christians today. We have left God, we have committed spiritual adultery against our Savior. We, like the wife of Hosea, have willingly left the one who has provided everything we will ever need. We have caused God to cut off the blessing and protection He promises those who abide in His will. 

God is trying to bring us back. He call to us and calls to us, and though we may come back for a season, we always end up leaving again. 

How foolish are we to leave everything we could ever want and need, to follow the sin that only satisfies for a season. It is not until we are in it that we realize that that sin that provides this temporary satisfaction is also the sin that does so easily beset us into staying much longer than we would ever want. The only answer is a complete and absolute surrender to God, that will bring full blessing, and cause us to never to have the desire to seek another source of satisfaction.

back to school (spring 09)

Well, I'm back at school again. I will hopefully be finishing the last leg before the half-way point! Hopefully this time next year I will be at the Crown College UK!!! But enough about me, I am SO thankful that God has supplied the money for me to be able to pay off last semester so I could come back this semester! This will be a semester that tests my faith in a way that it has not been tested before. I am looking forward to seeing the Lord supply the necessary funds for me to be here this semester. Where the need is great, God is greater. 

Spirits seem to be high here. There is an attitude of prayer that looms over the school as we prepare for the upcoming revival services. I can only imagine the great things God can accomplish as long as the hears of the students remain open.
