LIFE IS HARD – GOD IS GOOD HOSEA 1:1-2

LIFE IS HARD – GOD IS GOOD   HOSEA 1:1-2
 
Not a full head – A Changed life
Heart pure – Life transparent
Each one of us is responsible to live like Jesus – God focus
Trusting, Obeying – Letting His Word change us
Not me taking God’s Word and accosting others – Living my life as I please
 
The Lord our God is the only God, the one true God
Composed of Father, Son and Holy Ghost – there are no other gods
He is here, He knows what we are doing – Jesus is alive and active in us
We cannot ignore Him – we do so at great risk for our choice against God is His wrath
His will cannot be ignored – He is calling each one of us to be World Changers
 
God loves me – I desperately need His love – Jesus save me and keep me
He disciplines me – I am His child – His discipline moves me out of harm’s way
Calling me to repent – To turn from my sinful ways – I sin so easily and quickly
The Lord is my shepherd – Guiding me, directing me, keeping me
Unless I am changing there is no relationship with the Lord God
 
The World encourages easy answers – cool, tough and tender
Follow me the World says – the wide road, the easy road, the self-directing road
Do what you want – Live the way you feel you should – oh I’ve studied Buddha
The sky, the Earth, the birds, the bees – my observations says
Yet ALL have sinned and fallen short of God – God has revealed His way of salvation in Jesus
 
God is not distant – we don’t capture Him
He loves the loveless – For God so lived that He gave His only begotten Son
He is God and we are not – He seeks us – He calls us – But we have to listen or we miss the call
Jesus is the only way to the Father – Salvation is a gift from God
By faith we claim His salvation – By faith we believe in Him and live for Him – I surrender
