UNIFYING LESSON PRINCIPLE:

People often equate prosperity with righteousness. Is prosperity the standard y which people and society should be judged? Hosea reminds us that love and justice are God’s standards.

CONCLUDING REFLECTION:

Hosea summoned the people to “remember” their history—how God freed them from slavery in Egypt; how God chose and protected them in the wilderness. However, Israel refused to learn from its history and changed its course. Look at the religious and political choices we in American have today. We should learn the lesson of our own history.

PRAYER:

Dear LORD, help us ever to look to you for all the good and perfect gifts that come down to us. Help us to keep a perspective on the things that truly matter in life. Do not let us confuse material success with spiritual depth. Keep before us a sense of right and wrong in our dealings with one another. And help us ever to look to you for the model of what truly constitutes justice and righteousness. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
