TOPIC: The Effect Of Isreal’s Severance From God
TEXT: Hosea 8
STUDY: Here, we see the house of Israel under the besiegement of Assyria. This precarious state should elicit an alarm (v.l). The reason for this ugly situation is found in verse 1. Israel had broken God’s covenant. They only acknowledged God with their lips (v.2), but rejected Him in their deeds (v.3). This, is a demonstration of hardness of heart.
How often have we rejected God in our deeds and attitude? Has God’s approval for life’s major and minor decisions become of little or no consequence? Have worldly festivities found their ways into our gatherings with religious connotations? If these have become the cases, then we should go back to God for renewal (Ezek. 36:26-27).
The effect of Israel’s severance from God is seen from verses 7 to 14. God judges His people and we have to bear in mind that He is fair and just. With a fearful prospect of His judgment, let us live in awe of Him lest we be judged with the rest of the world.
Prayer: Almighty God, grant me the grace to serve and worship you in truth and spirit through Christ our Lord. Amen.
