Fenced In With Thorn Bushes

God comes to us when we’re dead in sin – when we’re “fenced in.” The life He brings – He will sustain. We cannot sustain ourselves. Read Hosea, chapter 4, verses 1 through 8. God’s people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge and a rejection of knowledge. We serve an intimate God. If not careful, you will think you’re serving an emotionless God. When His people turn away from Him – it breaks His heart. Read Hosea, chapter 3, verses 1 through 5. It tells a story of redemptive love. God will take us back in any state we’re in. Read Hosea, chapter 11, about God’s passionate plea to us and how He requires a response to His great love and mercy.
