A noteworthy passage that I came across in my reading of the book of Hosea today is found in chapter six:
Hosea 6:1 - 3 NKJV New King James Version
1 Come, and let us return to the Lord;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will [a]bind us up.
2 After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
3 Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
Brothers and Sisters in the Lord Iesus Anointed, have we stumbled along the way like Ephraim and Judah did in the Book of Hosea? Have we departed from the presence and the knowledge of the LORD? Let us heed the call by the prophet Hosea ben Beeri in this passage.
Let us return to the LORD and He will heal us and raise us up. Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD, and He will come to us like refreshing rain.
