A Word to Australia-- Reflection on Hosea 11:1-11

This started out as thoughts on Hosea 11:1-11, but as I wrote, it seems to be a prophetic call to our nation as we approach a critical Federal Election. I recommend you read the passage. ...

I love you
My heart aches for you
Don't you know
I died for you?
But the more I love you
The faster you run.

You love your gadgets
You worship your wealth
You say, "I have all I need-
Wealth sunshine freedom
I can do what I like-
God is so outdated."

Judgement is coming
You laugh at my preachers
You mock my people.
If prosperity brings idolatry
I will take away your wealth.

Australia I love you
I don't want to hurt you!
While you chase your toys
And worship your self
You are on the road to hell

I will rescue you
And when you turn to me
I will restore you.
