I have decided to have this blog, reflect my love for Jesus Christ. I want to show this by sharing somethings that I have learned lately.
In studying the book of Hosea, I learned that this book is about redemption and amazing love. This book shows us God's undying love for us, His love for His people, and a man's love for his wife.
Ch-8 tells us that we have been pursued by God. God stands at the door and knocks and if we open the door and invite Him, He will come in. The bare bones of this first part is simply this.. Hosea was a minor prophet that served God during the reign of King Jeraboam, a very wicked king.
Sometimes God moves us into something puzzling..IE God told Hosea to go and take a wife of harlotry, He found Gomer. She bore Hosea a son, then a daughter, and then another son. After about 3 years she then told Hosea that she wanted to return to her first husband for it was better then. Gomar like Lots' wife looked back and saw that the past was better than the present. ("Your past does not determine your destiny.")
Hosea saw Gomer's discontentment. We will see what happens to Gomer and Hosea another time. Thought for the day: Yesterday had it's time and will never be again. Satan has a way of taken past days and filtering then in our minds eye as special and magical. That's all it is magic. Our God wants us to never revisit the past unless we use it to teach others. We cannot long for the past because we waste precious moments of the future in doing so. We must live with Jesus in each moment of the present.
