The story of Hosea grabs my attention; I can't stop reading it. What a crazy allegory used here. God's people have all become prostitutes.
Verse after verse penetrates straight through my thick skin and flesh and bones, and into my heart, causing me to examine what is there. Does God really have my heart? Or am I like Gomer, offering my passion to what the world has for me?
One verse sticks out to me (Hosea 13:6), as God speaks to me loud and clear...
"When I fed them they were satisfied; when they were satisfied they became proud; then they forgot me."
Oh God, forgive me for forgetting you; For avoiding you and ignoring you. I NEED YOU AND WANT YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE!
