~Real Word~
Then GOD ordered me, “Start all over: Love your wife again, your wife who’s in bed with her latest boyfriend, your cheating wife.Love her the way I, GOD, love the Israelite people,even as they flirt and party with every god that takes their fancy.”
RT: Hosea paints a powerful picture in these scriptures as he shares his own painful story of an unfaithful wife. God shows Hosea how to love his wife in the same way that he loves his unfaithful children.
I don’t want to be unfaithful. I don’t want God to be anything but the most important presence in my life. And yet the truth is that things distract and pull at me. Things get more important than my time with God. Things trip me up when all I really want is to know him.
Today I went out and got alone with God. I unplugged and ditched the distractions so I could hang with him alone. I didn’t ask him for anything. I just talked to him and let him know how powerful it was to have him in and over my life.
What about you? Is he the only One in your life? If not, invite him to a one-on-one where you and God can connect all over again.
Read the scriptures again. Hear the longing in God’s voice as he speaks to and through Hosea. That’s his heartbeat.
