Hosea 2:8-13
She has not acknowledged that I was the one who gave her the grain...
I will ruin her vines and her fig trees, which she said were her pay from her lovers.
I will punish her for the days she burned incense to the Baals; she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, but me she forgot.
The people are worshiping Baal, the Canaanite fertility god, thinking he is the one who gives good crops and plentiful harvests; when all the time it is God. They will be punished.
Why:
God did not leave Israel, but punished them. God always is their God.
Acknowledge: admit and know what it is. Acknowledge the Lord is my blessing and my salvation.
punish: because be loved so there are punishment.
God allows people do what they want but the consequence will be followed for their sins.
How?
How to use the blessing of the Lord? Let all I have be utilized it to honor the name of the Lord.
