Hosea 10:13 ” But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception. Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors.”

Godlessness can be very subtle, clever, and hardly noticeable to others.  That’s because deception can be just as sly in twisting a truth ever so slightly…or planting a seed of doubt in an otherwise confident mind.  For anytime we put our trust in ourselves…in our own way, we’re not putting our faith in God.  We may think we’ve got this and don’t need God’s help, but Psalm 33:6 tells us that, “No king is saved by the size of his army, no warrior escapes by his great strength.”  God is very direct in this verse in Hosea…if you purse godlessness, you will be destroyed.  For anytime we put our hope in our own actions rather than God, we can but only reap trouble. (Job 4:8)
