Today's reading in Hosea 1-3 tells of Hosea's charge from God to live out the marriage that exists symbolically between God and Israel. Jonah's life now seems like a cake walk by comparison! Hosea lived during the reign of Jeroboam and prophesied to a decadent Israel. His words are powerful because they are spoken through the pain of personal experience. Our God is so gracious as He repeatedly offers forgiveness if Israel will repent and return to Him.
