My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
–Â Hosea 4:6
Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” but I look around today and I see something different. God has raised up so many good teaching pastors, preachers, and leaders who make the Word clear and practical. I’ve watched people grow in understanding over the years, and it’s something to be proud of. Some have come farther than they ever imagined. But we still have families who hold back. Some won’t take their children to church because of tithing. Some stay home because a spouse doesn’t want to go. Some simply don’t see the value of training their families in the things of God. And that breaks my heart, because our homes need spiritual guidance just as much as they need food and shelter. I’ve lived this myself. My husband didn’t go to church at first. But through steady love, conversation, and prayer, his heart softened. Now he’s been going with me for 17 years. So yes, change is possible. Growth is possible. God can move in any home. We’re not people destroyed for lack of knowledge. We’re people who are learning, growing, and becoming stronger. Let’s keep leading our families with love and truth so the next generation can go even farther.
Father God, thank You and praise You for the teachers, pastors, and leaders who help us grow in Your Word. Thank You for the families who are learning, changing, and coming farther than they ever thought they could know Jesus is our all and all. Help us keep leading our homes with love and truth. Give us patience, wisdom, and steady hearts as we guide our children and encourage our spouses. Let Your knowledge take root in every household and let Your peace fill every room. Love You, thank You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
