Reflection for July 5, 2017

"Then the Lord said, “Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not my people and I am not your God.”(Hosea 1:9)

I have never had someone deny me. I can't even begin to imagine the level of hurt one would experience if a parent or a child decided they wanted nothing to do with you. That you were essentially dead to them.

The prophet Hosea pronounced the ending of the relationship between God and his people. Basically voiding a covenant that said I will be your God and you will be my people.

While I certainly know people who say that's not my God, pretty much they don't believe in any God, I still hold fast to the belief that we are all God's people.

Blessings,
Ed
