I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.
Hosea 6:6 (ceb)
God commands Hosea to marry a “wife of whoredom” and have “children of whoredom.” And the children’s name are…harsh.
Yikes!
But God is using the prophet to show Israel how they are acting and what the results of their actions are in regard to their relationship with Him.
Bad. Unfaithful. Idolatrous. Deserving, not only divorce, but death.
But there is hope, because where Israel (and we) is unfaithful, God continues to be faithful. And that is what saves!
Thank God for His faithfulness amidst our lack of it!
