- Faithful God
If we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself. – 2 Timothy 2:13
If you have ever wondered about the depths of God’s faithfulness to you, a quick study of the book of Hosea would give you more understanding. God’s faithfulness is a recurring theme in Hosea’s story, as well as a recurrent theme throughout the entirety of Scripture.
Hosea was a prophet sent to Israel to inform them of their condition before the Lord executed justice on them. Therefore, they couldn’t say, “We didn’t know.” God used Hosea’s life as an “object lesson,” particularly his marriage to a faithless woman named Gomer. Hosea was called by God to remain faithful to his wife despite her adultery and, through Hosea, the Lord showed the people of Israel—and believers today—that He would remain faithful to His people even when they were unfaithful to Him. Hosea may have experienced a broken heart, but he depicted forgiving, compassionate love for Gomer. In the same way, when you wander from the Lord, His heart of love is hurt, but His love for you remains, and He will never desert you or forsake you.
Have you been tempted to wander from the Lord? Check your own faithfulness quotient today. You can come back to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Only Way to the Father, today. As Hosea 14:2 says, “Take with you words and return to the Lord; and say to him, ‘take away all iniquity; accept what is good.’” Be honest in your confessions toward Him… He is faithful to forgive.
Pray for those without faith in U.S. government to find the Savior and seek God’s wisdom for the benefit of the entire nation.
Today’s Verse: 2 Timothy 12:2

Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God,
for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
2 Take with you words
and return to the Lord;
say to him,
“Take away all iniquity;
accept what is good,
and we will pay with bulls
the vows of our lips.
3 Assyria shall not save us;
we will not ride on horses;
and we will say no more, ‘Our God,’
to the work of our hands.
In you the orphan finds mercy.”4 I will heal their apostasy;
I will love them freely,
for my anger has turned from them.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
he shall blossom like the lily;
he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon;
6 his shoots shall spread out;
his beauty shall be like the olive,
and his fragrance like Lebanon.
7 They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow;
they shall flourish like the grain;
they shall blossom like the vine;
their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
whoever is discerning, let him know them;
for the ways of the Lord are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them.All Scripture quotations and audio are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved.
