Good morning, everyone!
Today I read Hosea 8-14.
It details Israel's sins, God's anger, and His forgiveness.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Joel 1-3.

Read Through the Bible in a Year 2018 Day 261: Hosea Takes a Wife
Good afternoon, everyone!
Today I read Hosea 1-7.
Hosea is God's chosen prophet, and God instructs him to marry a harlot, so that he can better understand how God feels about Israel cheating on Him with other gods.
Hosea obeys, and they have children. God instructs Hosea to name them specific names that show God's displeasure with His people.
To better understand the book of Hosea, I recommend a movie. That's right. A movie.
In Amazing Love, a confrontation in a youth group leads to a youth retreat in the mountains where the youth leader shares the story of Hosea. Through this story, we learn the greatness of God's love, the depth of His sorrow, and the wonder of His forgiveness.
If you want to understand how God feels when we turn from Him, read the book of Hosea. And check out this movie. It tells the story in more modern terms.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Hosea 8-14.
