I don’t know about you, but I am super glad I am not the prophet Hosea! God tells us to do wild stuff sometimes… – but if I am honest, I still don’t fully comprehend why Hosea couldn’t just give a prophecy to Israel instead of marrying a prostitute and having children by her and then taking her back (paying for her too!) after she strays! However, I see a divine story line in it – do you?
“I will allure her…speak tenderly to her…” Wow! God is so good! So forgiving so forgetful! I hear His great love and His greatest desire – to have us (me) as His own! When I stray, He allures me back to Him. He loves me! I can’t help but notice that he takes me through the desert on my way back. Hmmm… The place of dependence I suppose – where I learn to trust the one who loves me most. I love you Lord!
