“25 As indeed he says in Hosea, "Those
who were not my people I will call 'my people,' and her who was not beloved I
will call 'beloved.'” Romans 9:25
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Hosea Chapter 2; The
idolatry of the people. (1-5) God's
judgments against them. (6-13) His
promises of reconciliation.(14-23)
;
Verses
1-5 This chapter continues the figurative address to Israel, in
reference to Hosea's wife and children… Impenitent sinners will soon be stripped of
the advantages they misuse, and which they consume upon their lusts.
Verses
6-13 God threatens what he would do with this treacherous,
idolatrous people… Days of sinful mirth must be visited with days of
mourning.
Verses
14-23 After these judgments the Lord would deal with Israel more
gently… Doth God say, Thou art my people? Say, Lord, thou art our God.
Chapter 3; The
prophet enters into a new contract, representing the gracious manner in which
God will again restore Israel under a new covenant.
Verses
1-3 The dislike of men to true religion is because they love objects
and forms, which allow them to indulge, instead of mortifying their lusts.
How wonderful that a holy God should have good-will to those whose carnal
mind is enmity against Him! Here is represented God's gracious dealings with
the fallen race of mankind, that had gone from him. This is the covenant of
grace he is willing to enter into with them, they must be to him a people,
and he will be to them a God. They must accept the punishment of their sin,
and must not return to folly. And it is a certain sign that our afflictions
are means of good to us, when we are kept from being overcome by the
temptations of an afflicted state.
Verses
4-5 Here is the application of the parable to Israel. They must long
sit like a widow, stripped of all joys and honours; but shall at length be
received again ... Though the first fear of God arise from a view of his holy
majesty and righteous vengeance, yet the experience of mercy and grace
through Jesus Christ, will lead the heart to reverence so kind and glorious a
Friend and Father, and to fear offending him.” - Matthew Henry Concise
What
a glorious day, It’s a double header today we are reading two chapters ( Chapter 2
& Chapter 3)
in Hosea. If any person has walked
away from God; Come Home He loves you, God forgives every sin; “4 For the children of Israel shall
dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without
ephod or household gods. 5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and
seek the LORD their God, and David their king, and they shall come in fear to
the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.” Hosea 3:4-5 English Standard Versions
(ESV). God loves and forgave the Israelites
and He wants to love & forgive everyone; (see John
3:16) if we will only put our faith in Jesus. Christ is our advocate; “35
Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For
you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you
may receive what is promised.” Hebrews 10:35-36 ESV. We have a promise
(see 1
John 2:1) Jesus will never leave or deny us. If you feel like your faith need’s a boost (see
Romans 10:17)
pray and read God’s Word.

Today’s Feast
Sep. 24, 2014- Hosea 1
Hope For The Future

“25 As indeed he says in Hosea, "Those
who were not my people I will call 'my people,' and her who was not beloved I
will call 'beloved.'” Romans 9:25
An Overview;
“Hosea is supposed to have been of
the kingdom of Israel. He lived and prophesied during a long period. The
scope of his predictions appears to be, to detect, reprove, and convince the
Jewish nation in general, and the Israelites in particular, of their many
sins, particularly their idolatry: the corrupt state of the kingdom is also
noticed. But he invites them to repentance, with promises of mercy, and gospel
predictions of the future restoration of the Israelites and of the Jews, and
their final conversion to Christianity.” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Hosea Chapter 1; “Under a figure, is represented the shameful
idolatry of the ten tribes. (1-7) The
calling of the Gentiles, and the uniting Israel and Judah under the
Messiah. (8-11).” - Matthew Henry Concise
The
people of Israel were prospering, (see
Hosea 1:1-7)
and God was warning them of their downfall because of their sin. There
is hope for the future (see Hosea 1:8-11)
when they will turn to one Lord; “11 And the children of Judah and the
children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for
themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be
the day of Jezreel” Hosea 1:11 English Standard Versions
(ESV). There is only one hope for our
future (see John
14:6) that hope comes in
the name of Jesus only. Victory is ours by the grace of God when we put
our faith in Jesus; “35 Therefore do not throw away your
confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so
that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.” Hebrews 10:35-36 ESV. Share that hope
and faith that we have in Jesus (see Acts
4:12) there is no other
hope for the future.

The Lord’s Day Will Come

Today’s Feast
Sep. 23, 2014- 2nd
Peter 3
The Lord’s Day Will Come
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen
minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years. Gods
Not Dead!
“17 But you must remember, beloved, the
predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:17
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of 2nd Chapter 3; “The
design here is to remind of Christ's final coming to judgement. (1-4) He
will appear unexpectedly, when the present frame of nature will be dissolved
by fire. (5-10) From
thence is inferred the need for holiness, and stedfastness in the faith. (11-18)
Verses
1-4 The purified minds of Christians are to be stirred up, that they
may be active and lively in the work of holiness… Because they see no
changes, therefore they fear not God, ( Psalms 55:19 )
. What he never has done, they fancy he never can do, or never will do.
Verses
5-10 Had these scoffers considered the dreadful vengeance with which
God swept away a whole world of ungodly men at once, surely they would not
have scoffed at his threatening an equally terrible judgment... Therefore
make sure of happiness beyond this visible world.
Verses
11-18 From the doctrine of Christ's second coming, we are exhorted
to purity and godliness… This is the knowledge of Christ, which the apostle
Paul reached after, and desired to attain; and those who taste this effect of
the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, will, upon receiving such
grace from him, give thanks and praise him, and join in ascribing glory to
him now, in the full assurance of doing the same hereafter, forever.” - Matthew Henry Concise
By
the love and grace of God we have been saved, (see 2 Peter 3:1-4)
yet there are those who would deny God’s very existence to lead us astray. If scoffers
would pray and read God’s Word (see
2 Peter 3:5-10) they would understand how the Lord’s day will come suddenly on all
creation. Destruction and Salvation
will come suddenly, (see 2 Peter 3:11-18) you and I are to be on guard so that we will not be turned aside
from God’s good grace; “18
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To
him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18 English Standard Versions
(ESV). As for me and you saints we should
hold on to every good work (see
Colossians
1:10) and continue to grow
in our knowledge of Jesus. Take heart when you get resistance from
ignorant or evil people; “3 More than that, we rejoice in our
sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance
produces character, and character produces hope,” Romans 5:3-4 ESV. Because of our
hope and faith in Jesus (see 1
John 3:3) we will be rewarded on
the Lord’s Day.
Do you hear Jesus calling you? Are you ready now? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?
