Hosea 8

Today we are reading Hosea 8. In this chapter we read how rebellion against God results in a repayment far worse. “As for my sacrificial offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but the Lord does not accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt. For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces, and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; so I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour her strongholds.” Hosea‬ ‭8:13-14‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Rebellion against God does not go unpunished. The first commandment says, “You shall have no other gods.” So, when we go against God He is very offended. When we chase after things that are not God—careers, wealth, possessions, philosophies, politics etc.—we offend our Holy and Righteous God. May God guide you in all your ways and in all your days.
