In this second message on Hosea, what is to be said?
Hosea married a prostitute to show the relationship Israel had with God.
God, forever faithful, dealing with Israel, forever chasing their own desires and whims.
Sound at all familiar? In this conclusion we see from God’s point of view how He feels about us. In spite of our unfaithfulness, He continues with pure love.
But what do we do about it? What, if anything, affects us to the point of change? Because if we just come and nod in agreement but don’t let the Word get planted and change us, what actual good is it?
Luckily, or fortunately, God sees us through His eyes. Eyes that only see our future and the person God has created us to be. Eyes that know the actual predestination of the person and give us the full benefit of God’s love.
As we listen to the story of Hosea, let’s know that our role is that of a fallen woman, but one that is loved freely and fully, and express our gratitude to the one who loves us that way.
