Hosea 14:1.2.3.

Call on God and you will be saved! 

Any parent knows there are times that you are very unhappy with your children and the decisions they have made. You can be very upset…BUT… they will always be your child and you will always love them with an unconditional love. The FATHER planted that agape love in you because that is His love for His children. 

Thank you God that you made a way where there was none with your gift of  salvation.What we could never earn You gave freely to those who would repent and choose to accept it. I love you!!! 

Hosea concludes with a call for Israel to repent and a promise of Yahweh’s forgiveness and future restoration. Faithlife Study Bible.

The final section of Hosea’s prophecy begins with a call to repentance that includes a model prayer. The people of Israel were to pray for God’s gracious forgiveness and renew their allegiance to Him by renouncing foreign alliances, their own military strength, and artificial gods. NKJ Study Bible.

Hosea 14:1–3 (NKJV)

14 O Israel, return to the Lord your God,

For you have stumbled because of your iniquity;

² Take words with you,

And return to the Lord.

Say to Him,

“Take away all iniquity;

Receive us graciously,

For we will offer the sacrifices of our lips.

³ Assyria shall not save us,

We will not ride on horses,

Nor will we say anymore to the work of our hands, ‘You are our gods.’

For in You the fatherless finds mercy.”

Psalm 51:17 (NKJV)

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,

A broken and a contrite heart—

These, O God, You will not despise.
