Hosea 9-11, Song of Solomon 8

What God said to me – I punish My children, but I do not destroy them.  My aim is to bring them to repentance.  My love is everlasting, and my covenant is eternal.  I will not turn away forever.  ‘I AM” a faithful Father who only desires what is best for My children.  I long for each one to walk with Me in faith, trusting Me, and seeking Me.  Stay close by My side.  Listen closely to what I say.  Stay so close that I only need to say a word or make a sound to get your attention.  It is so easy to wander – not so much physically as in your heart and mind.  You must constantly work at setting your mind on things above.  Stay focused on Me.  When you find your mind wandering, rein it in quickly, and return your thoughts to Me.

Hosea 5-8, Song of Solomon 7

What God said to me – There is no escaping My judgment.  Don’t forget this when you look at society and are distressed by all you see.  I will redeem those who are Mine and judge those who are not.  You must stand firm for a little while longer.  My plan is decided, and I will carry it out.  Walk with Me and stay alert.  I will show you great things and open your eyes to what “I AM” doing.  You will see My hand directing events that are leading to that day.  You must be faithful to sound the alarm as you do.  Be a faithful watchman for “I AM” coming soon.

Hosea 1-4, Song of Solomon 6

What God said to me – The time is coming when you will see My hand at work in a mighty way. The day is coming when I will restore My people, Israel fully – not just in the land, but to Me. You see people can live where I want them and appear to follow Me just by virtue of where they are, but their hearts are not fully devoted to me. What about you? Are you just living in a place and way that appears you are following Me or are you fully devoted to Me? You must walk with Me consistently and wholeheartedly. It is so easy to slide away. The human heart is fickle and easily distracted and deceived. You must be on guard so you don’t slip.
