Easy Option?

Many times we like to choose the easier option.  However, if an athletic decides not to train because he wants the easy option he will not continue to be a successful athletic. Training is required.

The Lord warns Israel that they are choosing some easy (and wrong) options.

Hos 4:13-14  13 They offer sacrifices on the tops of the mountains And burn incense on the hills, Under oak, poplar and terebinth, Because their shade is pleasant. Therefore your daughters play the harlot And your brides commit adultery.  I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot  Or your brides when they commit adultery, For the men themselves go apart with harlots And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes; So the people without understanding are ruined.

They are choosing to stay on the mountains, they don't want to travel to the temple to worship as required.  But all of this easier option is leading them to having a lack of understanding.

I must ask myself, am I taking the easy road with my faith?  Am I unwilling to seek the Lord diligently?

Consider your heart, are you taking the easy road?
