Their Heart Was Exalted

 May 10, 2023, Morning Bible Reading and Meditation Hosea 13 KJV

“[5] I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. 

[6] According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. 

[7] Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them :”

Words to ponder for today:

Their Heart Was Exalted

Saved from Slavery, they were moved to their very own promise land. 

With GOD’s Mighty power through Moses and of His stretched out arms.

Forty years in the wilderness they were tested, tempered and tried.

And through the hand of Joshua, they divided their inheritance.

But as soon as they were comforted enriched and became great, 

They turned their back from GOD.

To follow other gods, and their heart was exalted. 

Then GOD called from them prophets to warned them from their sins. 

And to all who repent, their sins were forgiven. 

GOD is still GOD until now, He keeps His words to be heard. 

He called out evangelists, pastors, teachers and preachers. 

For everyone to know, that GOD’s love is still here.

His plan of salvation through JESUS CHRIST, grace until now remains. 

Believers be not idle, open your mouth to speak.

Share to all GOD’s love and forgiveness, salvation they must heard.

For the time is coming nearer, and His grace will expires.

As soon as The LORD JESUS comes,  then there will be no more grace to share.

Let not your heart be exalted as the chosen people of GOD did.

Take time to listen to GOD’s words, repent and be humble indeed.

Share to all the gift of salvation through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. 

The Only way, the truth, the life, He freely gave His life for all! 

Amen! 

Hosea 13:1-16 KJV

[1] When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died. [2] And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. [3] Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney. [4] Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. [5] I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought. [6] According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. [7] Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them : [8] I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them. [9] O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. [10] I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? [11] I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. [12] The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. [13] The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children. [14] I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. [15] Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels. [16] Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
