Scripture Union Daily Guide 27th June 2025 Outline
It appears there is a total breakdown in Hosea’s home. Notice the requests of Hosea to his children concerning their mother (Hosea 2:1-4). Crises in marriage can be very challenging. When the children become a part of resolving the problem between couples, the situation becomes quite serious. Hosea tells them to accuse their mother of unfaithfulness. They would naturally be deprived of the love and care that should characterise a normal family relationship. Additionally, they are exposed to danger with their umbilical cord severed the second time.
That is the situation with God’s people. Compare the covering for Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:7 with the removal of the covering in Hosea 2:3. Israel is unfaithful to God as an adulterous woman in her marriage relationship. Observe the warning and its consequences in Hosea 2:3-4. God will always call for a change of heart and direction when we stray from Him (Isaiah 1:18). The seemingly good thing she receives from her harlotry (idolatry) entices her to continue but we are reminded that the attraction of sin is short lived (Hebrews 11:25). God’s mercy brings them back and builds boundaries around them to protect them. Meanwhile, God’s provision was used to serve Baal. What do we do with God’s goodness and mercies towards us?
Food for Thought:
Diverting God’s gifts to serve the enemy comes with its consequences.
Closing Prayer:
Lord, please deliver me from conscious and unconscious idolatry.
