Though he flourishes among the reeds, an east wind will come,
The wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness;
And his fountain will become dry, and his spring will be dried up;
It will plunder his treasury of every precious article.
Hosea 13:15
Our country has flourished greatly under the soverign hand of our God....but are we ready for the east wind to come ? As we drift away from the foundation of our faith which was once delivered to all, have we moved away from Him to the extent that He shall remove His hand from upon us ?
Will our fountain become dry and our spring dry up ? We are admondished to not grieve the Holy Spirit, to not forsake our delight in His law, to not relegate His Word to a few verses in a Sunday sermon but to meditate on it day and night...His desire is that we ‘will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither’. It is by standing firm in our faith, surrendering to Him each and every day, holding fast to our testimony that we shall be firmly planted.
Let us begin anew by meditating on -
Psalm 7 verse 17:
I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
Psalm 1 verses 1 - 3:
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
