Hosea 12-14

It took me about 15 minutes to read the last 3 chapter written by this prophet. Throughout all of Hosea's writing, and speaking, God's message is very similar; "You are not worshipping. You are only giving me empty lip service. I will punish you for ignoring me." Yet the last verse of the final chapter of Hoeas; God's terminating statements is not focused on Israel's sin, but rather on the one true hope for Israel in Hosea's day and all of the world today; God will provide for those who seek him. God's instructions provide guidance. Only God's principles will save us from our sinful lives. Walking in the light of God's words will enable us to live an abundant life. These truthes haven't changed from the days of Hosea; they have only become clearer through the revelation of Jesus the Christ.
