Have we hidden God under a bushel basket?

This was in Responce to Robs posting....go here

Bully! Rob, I say bully! Amen!

Israel was not carried off into captivity because the Philistines rejected God’s law.... No, they were carried of because THEY had rejected God’s law.

Bastiat in his essay "The Law" said
...The law is not a torch shedding its own light ...

The source of Law for any system is the God of that system. That being the ultimate authority. For the Pilgrims at Plymouth and the Puritans in Virginia there was no doubt that it was God of the bible and it was his law they used. They did this while living under the reign of a king that just despised them, and was a flaming homosexual to boot. They tried to be true to Gods word and God blessed them. The king thought they would all die in the wilderness.

1Ki 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

Today the answer would be...but we need to be relative...but if Obama is elected.... but you wont get traction. Have we hidden God under a bushel basket? In the name of letting our light shine. Oops.

Its our humanistic upbringing. We think we have to be able to see, how, it will work out. It has to make sense to us. We dont see that a god of reason and logic has weaseled into the throne room of our hearts.

Isa 55:7-9 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

We need to lead the way in repentance.

Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

We know these passages but we cannot see how we violate them. Open our eyes lord!
