Introduction
Hosea warns the people of Israel that their unfaithfulness to God will now unleash harsh punishment, including deportation to Egypt, and he warns the people about the consequences of their sin.
Scripture Reading
Hosea 9:1-14
Today's Key Verse: Hosea 9:8a
Hosea says: God has sent me as a prophet to warn his people Israel.
Reflect
How does Hosea describe Israel's punishment (verses 1-6)? What has brought about this punishment? As a prophet, how is Hosea being treated (verses 7-9)? What consequences will occur because of the people's unfaithfulness?
Pray
Holy God, faithfulness to you is what you ask. Keep me strong in faith and grounded in your Word. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
