“O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.” - Hosea 14v1
Sometimes God can take things that we make so complicated and make them so simples. There are books, CDs, DVDs, and seminars all talking about why Christians struggle, stumble, and fall in their sin. They all seem be looking for a quick way out or a quick fix. We all try to figure out how we find ourselves in this situation. Just like with Adam and Eve it always seem to be somebody else’s fault. Maybe it’s our parents, or the wicked world around us, or our spouse and kids, or the miserable job we have that led us to this mess. Surely, there must be a reason why I am where I am today.
God tells us in Hosea what it is that causes us to stumble and fall. No need to make it complicated – God put it this way, “You have fallen because of your sin.”
That’s it – when we stumble or fall spiritually it is because we have sinned. It is our fault, there is no one to blame but ourselves.
