"unfaithful Bride"

Scripture Reading:
Hosea 1:2 (HCSBO)  When the LORD first spoke to Hosea, He said this to him:  Go and marry a promiscuous wife and [have] children of promiscuity, for the whole land has been promiscuous by abandoning the LORD.

Devotional Reading:

Her God is faithful to us, even when we're unfaithful to Him.  It's in that prophetic book of Hosea that God illustrates to us His longing love for a faithful bride.  Hosea was commanded to marry the harlot Gomer, who was unfaithful before and after marriage.  god directed Hosea to marry Gomer and to reclaim her.  We have a God who reclaims us, even in the midst of our unfaithfulness.  We become more radiant and effective the more we understand we're to be faithful to Jesus Christ.  God is faithful to us.  He sent Jesus Christ to die and to rise again.  He asks us to be faithful to that marriage.  God isn't impressed with pedigree.  Where are you with Jesus?  Are you struggling, worrying about being successful?  We need to reframe the whole idea of success.  We need to ask how we become a successful bride.  We need to show faithfulness in whatever situation God has placed us.  Those who are faithful with little can be given much.  However, having much doesn't necessarily mean that we've been faithful.  We can have things in this world and totally miss the things of Christ.  Are you faithfully committed to the cause of Jesus to go-teaching, preaching, discipling, and telling others the good news of Christ?

Keep the Son in your eyes,
