“And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the Lord.” Hosea 2:20
When you take time to meditate on Scripture and consider all that it consists of, you have to be continually amazed. Today, we are introduced to Hosea, who is told at the beginning of his book, to “take to yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry”. This he does and portrays to His People “a Play” of sorts before them. He is showing them what they have become through their Idol Worship.
But now in Chapter 2, with Today’s Verse, God provides a Promise and an Answer! It begins with “I will”. God would “betroth” His People to Himself. As a result we see a Change; “Then you will know the Lord”! But this is something that “God Does”!!! And in “This Play”, He would once again show His People that a “Heart Change” must take place in order for a “True Marriage” to be successful. The days of Apostasy would soon be over, as Christ and the Gospel come!
