God judged His people who willfully rejected His wisdom and Laws. He had given them laws, precepts and wisdom so that they would live in peace, with blessings and with purpose. However, because of their pride and arrogance, they rejected His words. This greatly displeased God. Hosea 4:6 says: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children”. That is a chilling verse. God declared to those that willfully rejected His word that He would also reject them from being able to serve Him. This would also impact their children because God knew that they would not teach God’s law to their children. This would also cause judgement to fall upon the children since they would act just like their parents. God was pleased with Abraham and He knew that he would teach the law of God to His children (Genesis 18:19). Therefore He greatly blessed Abraham and his children. But those that reject His word will not be able to enjoy His presence. They will not be able to receive life from His word and promises. They will not teach their children, so it will also negatively impact their children. Learn from their example, and instead embrace His precepts and promises. It will be a lasting blessing to you and your family!
Knowledge and wisdom is only good and effective if we use and apply it. King David asked God to give him understanding of his precepts and guiding principles so that he could meditate and focus his thoughts on them. This is important because most people are deceived and think that what they are being taught by TV, their professors, their friends and family is the absolute truth. There is also a strong re-education and brainwashing taking place on a national level where some in high places are forcing us to believe a strong delusion and lie. It is more important than ever that we ask God to “open the eyes” of our understanding so that we can truly walk in the “light” of God’s wisdom and understanding. Have you been taking what you know and what you are being taught as “truth”? Or are you observing the strong winds of change with open eyes? I counsel you to ask God to give you understanding of His guiding principles so that you can truly walk in the “light” of His knowledge and help others to “see the light”.
Psalm 119: 27 (AMP) “Make me understand the way of Your precepts (guiding principles), So that I will meditate (focus my thoughts) on Your wonderful works”.
