Scripture:
““O Israel, stay away from idols! I am the one who answers your prayers and cares for you. I am like a tree that is always green; all your fruit comes from me.”” Hosea 14:8 NLT
Observation:
God is speaking to Israel about their constant turning away from Him and serving other gods. He tells them to stay away from idols because He is the one who answers their prayers and cares for them. He tells them that He is like a tree that’s always green and constantly producing fruit. God wanted to be their source for everything they needed, but they continually turned to other gods.
Application:
God wants us to always turn to Him, not away from Him. We should never walk away from God or look to any other source for our needs. He wants to be a continual supplier for us. He longs for us to turn towards Him and not away when things get difficult. He wants to be our supplier. We must always run to Him and not to other means. He is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, You are incredible! You are faithful and strong. Your love and mercy is deeper than the sea. Help me to never look to any other source but You. You are all I need. Teach me to walk by faith. Bless my life and those around me. Bless Word of Life today. Bless the work of my hands and my family in every way. You are my source!
Yours,
Jeff
