Hosea 1:9
Hosea 1:9
Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
In a world filled with confusion and uncertainty, we often find ourselves searching for direction and meaning in our lives. We may feel disconnected from God, unsure of our place in His plan, and wonder how He could still love us when we stumble and fall. The story of Hosea and his relationship with Gomer, a woman who was unfaithful to him, mirrors our own relationship with God. This verse serves as a sobering reminder that when we turn away from God and His commandments, we risk losing our connection with Him. However, it is also a story of God's unwavering love and commitment to His people. Despite their unfaithfulness, God continues to pursue and redeem His people, just as Hosea pursued and redeemed Gomer. As believers, we should recognize the depth of God's love for us, even when we fail to live up to His expectations. We must turn our hearts back to Him and seek to strengthen our relationship with our Creator. In doing so, we can experience the fullness of His grace, mercy, and forgiveness and find our true identity as His beloved children.

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
1 Thessalonians 5:5
Ye are all sons of light and sons of the day.

You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
