Two impactful statements from today's reading:
1) my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
2) a people without understanding will come to ruin.
I know as a teacher/coach how frustrating it is when a student/athlete refuses to learn and then when it is time to perform just can't, because they aren't equipped. I also know how frustrating it is as a parent to see your kids not be able to perform, because someone who was supposed to prepare them has not done the job. I feel for God and the heartache that He must feel when we blindly disobey Him or in the case of Israel when the priests didn't do their job and teach the people. A teacher carries a weight of responsibility and this shows in the reading today. Leaders must lead and do it humbly realizing that the Lord is judging their work.
