Hosea 11

I haven't been blogging as much as I've been wanting to but that's just because I've been lazy/ busy. As I've said before, I've been going through the book of Hosea and its been really difficult for me to read just because of the wrath that God had on Israel. In Hosea 11, God starts showing compassion and love towards Israel even when they are rebelling against him. It says that "his heart is changed and that his compassion is aroused".

Hosea 11:3-4

"It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms, but they did not realize it, I who healed them. I led them with cords of human kindness and with ties of love."

Sometimes I forget where God has brought me from. I forget that he is the one who breathed life into me. This verse just allows me to go back remember how great our God really is. It helps me remember the love he showed me in my past and the love he is showing me now. God is love.

Today was a struggle for me wanting to seek God but when I look in the past and see what he has done and what he is doing right now,it makes me want him more. So my prayer is that I will consistently remember what God has done but also look forward to what he is doing and what he will do.
