FINAL FOR "Today Things Are Going To Change"

Well as I finalize in Hosea, and the third and final part of “Today Things Are Going To Change.”
In the final chapters of Hosea, it seems rather grim, Hosea 9 begins; “DO NOT REJOYCE, O Israel, (America) with exultation like the nations! For you have played the Harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved the harlots’ earnings on every threshing floor.” I continue to compare Israel with America, some may be offended, but… at many points in God’s word choose one for yourself, any time God’s people turn their back on the Lord, things come undone, so why would we think ourselves so undeserving of God’s discipline? Maybe you would be one to say: “well it is because I do not believe.” That is another topic altogether. However I can assure you it does not make any of this any less true.
So is it not apropos, to consider the discipline that must come? Hosea 9:7 “The days of punishment have come, the days of retribution have come, let them know this. The prophet is a fool, the inspired man is demented, Because of the grossness of their iniquity, and because your hostility is so great!” Oh that we would have ears to hear, what the Lord says to His people…
As I continue on there is one verse that caught my eye it is in: Hosea 13:9 “It is your destruction, O Israel, that you are against Me, against your HELP.” God Almighty is our help, and desires to be that at every point, in even the smallest of our circumstances; yet we continue to run and seek our own means.
So Again I say: “Oh let us know, let us press on to know the LORD.” “Today Things Are Going To Change” or should I say; today things can change. The Lord desires to be our ever present Help, will we allow Him, or will we continue to seek our own means and our own ideals? I love, love, love how it finishes off in Hosea 14:9 “WHOEVER is wise, let him understand these things; WHOEVER is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, and the righteous will walk in them, but transgressors will stumble in them.”
It is so very simple for my words to be, “oh yes I am righteous, and follow the Lord. I am a Christian because I gave my life some 30 some years ago; YET do I live it? Do you live it?
