In this episode, we dive into Hosea 7 and 8, where the prophet exposes the deep spiritual and moral decay of Israel. We'll explore how the people's reliance on political alliances and false worship leads to devastating consequences, and how God's heart breaks over their stubborn rebellion. Yet, even in the midst of judgment, there is a call to return and seek true repentance. Join us as we unpack these powerful chapters and reflect on what they reveal about the dangers of self-reliance and the hope found in turning back to God.
