Hosea 12:6 So you, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually.
Hosea was pleading with the people of Judah to turn back to God at this stage in their history. It was God who created us and allowed us to start living with Him; but us who continually run the other way!
God continues to call us back so we can live a wonderful life with Him, and us who continue to ignore God’s precious calling.
God wants us to show the same mercy and grace to others which He gives us. But we must also be patient and wait on Him.
