If our lives are built on the foundation of the Word of GOD, it will be that we will seek Him more and more. We will want to honor Him in as many venues as possible. I think if Jesus, the Christ of GOD, was here today, He would be using every platform available to declare His Word. Jesus lives through His Word, so the more it is honored and declared, the more He is glorified. For the most part, GOD'S Word has been ignored lately.

When this great country of ours was founded by Christian fathers, the Bible was the textbook children learned to read out of at school. Then we became too prideful and sophisticated to keep Christ central. We started relying on ourselves and our inventions and strayed from our first love. As Hosea rightly proclaimed, "Thou hast gone a whoring from thy GOD." We have "cast off the thing that is good and are deeply corrupted." He continues his rebuke, warning Israel of GOD'S wrath. It is the same for us today. GOD will visit us for our sins, and our "glory shall fly away as a bird" (Hos. 9:11). The message is always the same: return unto your Maker. We are like children following every pied piper on jump street. Hopefully, with more chapters on our King and Savior Jesus Christ, we will flee to His open arms We do not want to hear "The glory is departed," not from our country or any country. No, we want the King's glory to rain down upon us. Hosea's beautiful words remind us, "According to their pasture, so were they filled. They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore, have they forgotten Me. O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself but in Me is thine help. I will be thy King. Where is any other that may save thee?" (Hos. 13:6, 9, 10).
