Hosea 6: 3. Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.
Hosea tells the people how they are letting God down. Place after place, bad deed after bad deed..they never really change. They will be facing catastrophe.
The prophets can't get anyone to listen. They threaten, they explain how the people have gone wrong, but nobody ever really changes anyway.
It must have been so frustrating to see what the outcome could be without the ability to change it. As one meme on the internet says, "I wonder if we ever give God a headache." I know we break His heart.
Prayer: I am sorry, my Lord, for my lack of faithfulness. I know You are always there for me, but You can't count on the same from me. I promise to try to remember to turn to You in every circumstance--for praise as well as for pleas.
Amen
