—Hosea 8:1-10
by: Irene B. Saunders.
Hosea 8:7 says, “They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.” My husband, Steve, works in an office building in Topeka, Kansas. An alcove near the front doors creates a whirlwind. While waiting for Steve, I have watched the wind swirl the leaves. The leaves move, but they are not getting anywhere. The only “way out” of the whirlwind occurs when a custodian comes with his broom and dust pan. Our rebellion against God puts us in a “going nowhere whirlwind.” We need to surrender to him and let him take us out of the dangerous situations that keep us from being productive.
