Scripture Union Daily Guide 1st July 2025 Outline
The people do not seem to heed the call to return to God. It is even more difficult when their priests are equally guilty. What are some of the atrocities the people are committing? They are accused of persecution (Hosea 5:1), spiritual prostitution (Hosea 5:3), pride (Hosea 5:5), Apostasy (Hosea 5:7), and tyranny (Hosea 5:10) among others. They move boundary stones (cheat) contrary to God’s instruction (Proverbs 22:28). The deeper they fall, the more difficult it is to return to God (Hosea 5:4).
Ephraim is obsessed with the intent of pursuing idols. Even when he knew he was in trouble, he still would not return to God. Instead, he turned to other kings who could not even save themselves. For trusting in man for protection instead of God, they will receive their judgment unless and until they repent.
Where do we go for help when it seems like things are so difficult and we are weighed down by our sins and challenges of life? The more we run away from our true source of help, the deeper we fall into trouble.
Closing Prayer:
Lord, have mercy on me and help me seek you always no matter the situation.
