Don't need God?

If the truth be known many of us do not like when someone tells us what to do. At work, home or even when we are on vacation, we hate it when others have a level of authority over us.

People today are proud to declare, they are their own master. No one tells me what to do! How sad, because there are many around us who could help us learn from there mistakes and wise choices. When we see this in little children we know how foolish this attitude can be because as adults we know there are many things that they don’t understand. This truth applies to us adults as well. Notice what Solomon tells us in Proverbs 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But a wise man is he who listens to counsel. NASU

You are faced with a simple choice. Will you be wise and receive counsel from the Lord or will you say "I have no KING but ME!"

Hos 10:3-10
3 Surely now they will say, "We have no king, For we do not revere the Lord. As for the king, what can he do for us?" 4 They speak mere words, With worthless oaths they make covenants; And judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field. 5 The inhabitants of Samaria will fear For the calf of Beth-aven .Indeed, its people will mourn for it, And its idolatrous priests will cry out over it, Over its glory, since it has departed from it. 6 The thing itself will be carried to Assyria As tribute to King Jareb; Ephraim will be seized with shame And Israel will be ashamed of its own counsel. 7 Samaria will be cut off with her king Like a stick on the surface of the water. 8 Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed; Thorn and thistle will grow on their altars; Then they will say to the mountains,"Cover us!" And to the hills, "Fall on us!" 9 From the days of Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel; There they stand! Will not the battle against the sons of iniquity overtake them in Gibeah? 10 When it is My desire, I will chastise them; And the peoples will be gathered against them When they are bound for their double guilt. NASU

Explore for yourself.

When the Lord is not "King" of our life how do we speak? (Israel was doing this)
Why were the people crying? What happens to Ephraim and Israel?
What is Samaria "like"?
What is taking place to the high places?
Why will Israel cry out for the mountains and hills to "cover them" and "fall on them"?
