Hosea 6 & 7 - Running from God

Jul 4, 2022    Ramy Bishai

How many times have we tried running to everything else but the Lord? How many times have we tried to appease Him by doing all but talking to Him and accepting His mercy? In these chapters we see the Israelites doing precisely that, despite God pleading with them to return to His love.
"For I desire mercy and not sacrifice,
And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." - Hosea 6:6.
