3 Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing (Ezekiel 13:3)!
God is warning Israel/Judah that following after false leaders is foolish. It was foolish because the leaders/prophets were not basing their prophecies and guidance on the word of God. They were doing what they felt was right in their own eyes. The previous may sound familiar to us. The measure that we ought to use for decision making in life is God’s measure. God does not leave us without guidance. God has provided for us, in the form of His written word, 66 books by 40 authors spanning 1500 years of redemptive history. When we follow God by following God’s word we will be on the way that leads to life.
