My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6
These people were in trouble, but they didn't know it. The knowledge and wisdom from God was available to them, but they didn't know it. Hunger, thirst, poverty, and captivity was in their future, but they didn't know it. When they got hunger, thirsty, poor, and captured, they cried out for the Lord. Too bad they weren't concerned earlier and most of their troubles could have been avoided. In Matthew's beatitudes, he pronounced a blessing on those who "hunger and thirst for righteousness". When are restaurants are full, but our Bible classes are empty, we need to take heed. We need the vision of God to prepare for tomorrow.
