TOPIC: Total Allegiance From God’s People
TEXT: Hosea 1:1- 2:1
Anglican Daily Fountain 21 January 2022 Devotional | Message
God’s relationship with Israel is frequently compared to a marriage contract (Jer. 3:14). Israel’s departing from the Lord (Hos. 1:2) in order to worship idols was treated by God as spiritual infidelity or prostitution. Hosea’s marriage was to be an object lesson for the unfaithful northern Kingdom. Gomer was likely not a prostitute at the time of her marriage, but she would later turn to an adulterous and immoral life which God hates.
You shall have no other gods before me “(Exo. 20:3). God hates idolatry “No one can serve two masters, neither you will hate one and love the other nor you will still be devoted to one and despise the other, you cannot serve God and money ” (Matt. 6:24).
God demands total allegiance from his people; He hates disloyalty. He looks forward to seeing His people obey Him and in return bless them. “Be it far from me for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed” (1 Sam. 2:30).
Prayer: Dear Father, may all the glory and honour be ascribed to you now and forevermore. Amen.
