This morning I stepped into the world of
Unfaithfulness, Betrayal and Disregard
and
Righteous anger
and
Unrelenting
Faithfulness....
The book of Hosea.
Godly man
Instruction:
- Go marry a prostitute
(A woman who consistently
chooses to give herself to men
other than her husband)
- Love her
- Raise her children (even if you don't know they are yours)
- woo her back to yourself.
and then tell a nation that this is a picture
of them and their God....
Whoa.
It made me think
are there things in my life
that I am courting outside of my 'marriage' to God?
Are there other 'loves' in my life?
Is the grass greener on the 'world' side of the fence?
Makes me think
and do some inventory....
Where do I spend my money
What do I dream of doing....
How do I even see my Father....  
Big and mean...
or
lover of my soul
protector of my life.....
Lord,
Thank You
for Hosea's graphic
life example
of Your Love for me
I step back under Your Father covering
over my life
I choose You
I receive 
Life 
from You alone
today.
