Three Problems Identified

Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel! The LORD has brought charges against you, saying: “There is no faithfulness, no kindness, no knowledge of God in your land. [Hosea 4.1]

Here are three problems:

1. No faithfulness
2. No kindness
3. No knowledge of God

Ouch - these problems seem all too familiar to us today.

There is much to be considered and learned from today's reading from the OYCB. Hosea's writing is all about the three things listed above: faithfulness, kindness, and knowledge of God.

Perhaps, since our society is so similar to what Hosea faced (endless turning to everything else besides God), we would do well to work on the three problems listed above.

Father, help me to consider today the three problem areas listed in what i read today. Help me to make the adjustments in my life to be faithful, to be kind, and to be knowledgeable of You.
