Hosea calls Israel out to turning to Assyria for the help God freely offers them. Their discipline will be God letting them see that false god fail them. And His restoration of them will be a perfect example of how repentance should take place in our hearts as well.

1. The first step in recovery is acknowledging you have a problem.

2. The destination of God's discipline is worth the heartache of the process.

3. Your attitude towards God's Word directly reflects your attitude towards God Himself.
