Hosea 1:2 (ESV) — 2 When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord
said to Hosea, “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of
whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord.”
NOTE: I can only
imagine (and that quite poorly at that) the pain involved in marrying a woman
who gives herself to whoredom and then has children of whoredom. How very
painful to exist in that type of marriage relationship. To commit to love and
then to not be loved, but for her love to be given to many others. All of this
is a very true situation, but the intent was to illustrate God the Father's
pain as Israel played the harlot to idols and disobeyed his commands. The very
things that were intended to save them, destroyed them. Today, we are throwing
off the foundations of God's moral law faster than anything. The definition of
sex and marriage, established in the very beginning of creation are tossed on
the garbage heap. People laugh at those who argue for its applicability and
consider the defenders of God, stupid and not part of the elite (those who in
their great intelligence have escaped such myths). Oh, what a sad planet we
have. It is now living in hatred and sexual sin, and it is so very lost.
PRAYER: Father,
forgive us for our foolish love of the things of creation and not the creator.
You have given us so much. You are worthy of our love. Open our eyes to our
foolishness.
