In my reading today I was focused on Hosea 10:1-10. After reading the scripture I read the "Daily Bread" commentary and this stuck out...
"It had been a long time since a good and wise king ruled over Israel, and that appears to have fostered their dependence on foreign gods..."
This struck me and made me reflect on my walk.
The devotional goes on to say about Hosea 10:1-10:
"It had been a long time since a good and wise king ruled over Israel, and that appears to have fostered their dependence on foreign gods rather than pursuing political reform. They mourned the loss of their idols. They ignored the loss of courage like David's or wisdom like Solomon's. Israel didn't place their hope in God or even in kings...they put their faith in manmade objects of worship. As a result of their foolishness, their government was rendered irrelevant (v.7) and their gods were proven disgraceful (v.6)."
So much can be drawn from this single paragraph, from my walk to how I see our country going and what we tend to worship.
