“And the Lord said to me, ‘Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins.’” (Hosea 3:1)
Once again, the imagery is overwhelming. God commanded Hosea to redeem an adulteress as a symbol of what God would do for a wayward Israel.
That is the nature of our covenant-keeping God. He is kind and merciful. And he is sacrificial toward the lost.
Father, help me never forget or dismiss your kindness. Amen.
