#soap # Hosea 12 ## Title: The Time is Now ## Scripture: (Hosea 12:6) “But you must return to your God, by maintaining love and justice and by waiting for your God to return to you.” (NET) ## Observation: Even with all the accusations against the nation of Israel, God is still calling His people back to Himself. He continues to offer them freedom, forgiveness, and the opportunity to depend on Him. This is still true today. God calls us, loves us, and wants us to come home. No matter where you are, it’s always the perfect time to come back to the LORD. The darker it is, the better the decision. No matter where you are, come home to Jesus. If you are already in fellowship with Him, never stop coming home. Keep walking closer and closer to Him each day. Also, when you have the opportunity, tell others about the invitation the LORD extends to us all. You might be someone’s miracle. ## Application: Never stop coming home. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for the way You seek after us and welcome us back into Your presence.
