—Hosea 11
by: Joy Choquette.
If you have ever spent time with a toddler, you recognize the emotional rollercoaster they live on. Sometimes their whims, frustrations, and fancies can take you along for a ride. Even if you feel annoyed in one moment, chances are you will be laughing in the next. In this passage, God explained, through Hosea, that His heart had been changed toward Israel. His compassion was aroused (v.8), and God would not carry out his fierce anger toward His people. Instead, He would show them His restoring love. That same restoring love is available for all His children today. Never forget that God’s love is bigger than any of our sin.
