Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and the truths that it contains. Thank You for using the life of the prophet Hosea, to paint such a graphic picture of Your relationship with Israel and of Your grace toward her, as well as the Christian Church. Thank You that in Your wrath You remembered mercy, not only for Israel but for me as well. Help me to understand the programme You have for Israel as well as the one You have for Your Church, and help me not to get the two dispensations confused. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
