Wake up - Hosea 4

This is a heavy chapter. God continues to speak to us through his prophets and Hosea really lays it out there for all of us to chew on. As I read this chapter it reminds me of America and the economic inequalities, oppression, murder of our children through abortion and our idol worship in the name of patriotism. Then God really gets to the core of the problem, the pastors and spiritual leaders who have failed not only God but the people of the nation trough their selfish ambitions, greed for money and idolatry. Hosea says "they look to a piece of wood for an answer to their prayers". Wow! Look closely at your life, what are you depending on for security in life? Your 401k? Your job? Your government? Non of that will be there to help you when the shaking comes later this year. But if you can't stand for God now you will not be able to stand then.
