God is Watching; Someone is Writing  

   We shouldn't be too surprised at the organized smash-and-grab activities in American cities. 

   About 715 B.C., the prophet Hosea wrote, They practice deceit, thieves break into houses, bandits rob in the streets. Chapter 7, verse 1. 

   Remember what Solomon observed: There is nothing new under the sun. 

   People will do what people do, whether good or bad. 

   We're supposed to be a nation of law and order. There may be more law and order when our protected elite class suffers the same results of their policies as the rest of us. 

   Ancient times and our times, God is watching. But they do not realize that I remember all their evil deeds. Their sins engulf them; they are always before me. Hosea 7:2.

   The prophet also mentions lies, adultery, drunkenness, arrogance, deception, rebellion and insolent words...all part of the culture God wanted to forgive and restore. 

   We can't fix society, but we can call upon the Lord, as he guides us through Hosea and other Spirit-filled authors of the Bible. 

   Our "books" are being written. And the book of life. They will be opened. Some for rewards. Some for judgment. Revelation 20:11-15.
