August 18, 2006 Psalms 106:37-38 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Why, why is it that man would rather yield to the burden of devils than to submit to the easy yoke of Yehovah? Why is it that when given wholesome spirituality, we hanker for the cesspool of superstition? Why is it that when we are given life, we snuff at it and choose death? Do we think that our modern civilization is above such lowly crimes and passions as the children of Israel were? Do we hear these verses and think of the ancients who didn’t know better, or of these people in primitive distant lands in Africa or in the Amazon forest? Since the second part of the twentieth century, our society has experienced a general rebellion against the very principles that were the spiritual building blocks of this country; it even tries to deny God as the creator. Our modern civilization, bewitched by a false concept of freedom, has strayed from wholesome boundaries. As a result, we have birthed a culture of death, the spiritual genocide of a generation. We have been lured and convinced by the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2) to remove the godly and healthy spiritual boundaries, and now, the proverbial werewolves roam freely, feasting on our precious lambs, our children. Dressed in sheep coats, the gods of ‘freedom’ of speech, press, choice, art, religion, and government, demand the soul of our children, and we all too willingly give it to them. Thus, we exchange our God-given liberties, sacrificing our children on the altar of the devil’s freedom. God has a way with His children. He usually ends up letting them reap the fruits of their own doings. God eventually allows His people to be conquered by a foreign or an ungodly power. Our generation is said to be soon the witness of the revelation of such a power (Revelations 13). At that time, God’s children will repent. Isn’t it when the children are in trouble and need help that they call home? 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: Patrick Lumbroso For past issues of the daily devotion go to my blog at: htt\p://hearthstoneministries.blogspot.com/
