Hosea 11;12-12:6
The Lord has a charge to bring against Judah; he will punish Jacob according to his ways and repay He struggled with the angel and overcame him; he wept and begged for his favor. He found him at Bethel and talked with him there - The Lord God Almighty, the Lord is his name of renown!
But you must return to your God; maintain love and justice, and wait for your God always.
This is not an easy chapter to follow, Israel needs to be reminded of scheming Jacob and how he learnt to lean on God, and to forget their proud independence and reliance on foreign powers.
Why?
God reminded Jacob was proud and after he met God at Betel, he changed and asked the blessing from the Lord. So God remind Israel what he was, the only way is return to God, he is your God.
Wind is custom and it is virtual things, looks good but soon disappear. Trace or pursue the wind is empty end. Spirit is like wind, so we should follow the Holy Spirit.
Jacob grab many benefit but when he knew to grab the Lord Almighty he got the blessing from the Lord.
I need to wait for my God always.
How?
Remember the beginning of the Love with God. maintain love and justice and wait for God always.
