When we are puffed up with pride, we think too highly of our abilities and fail to acknowledge God or search for him. Let us let go of our pride and turn to the Lord, lest we pay the price.

Do we really want to love and serve God? If the answer is yes, then we must follow through and love Him and serve Him with our all.

We may say we love God, but do we truly love Him if we don’t know and pursue what He loves?

Like the Israelites in the time of Hosea, we too, fail to stay true to the Lord. But the Lord is faithful; He waits until we come to our senses and repent, and tells us exactly how we can turn back to Him.
