Daily Devo | "Assyria Cannot Save Us" (Prophet & Loss, Hosea 14:1-4)
Description
No one looks to political powers like Assyria these days, but we certainly look to political power in other forms. God invites Israel to no longer trust in these institutions and implements of political and military power and instead look to the Lord. They are invited to finally return home and to trust in the Lord. And what is the price of return? Nothing but the confession and gratitude that will lead God to heal them of their sin. May God heal us all!

For Reflection:
"The Lord says, 'Then I will heal you of your faithlessness'" - Hosea 11:4
- We no longer look to Assyria and warhorses for security but what are our modern equivalents? Where do you see people creating modern idols of false hope and security?
- Where are you tempted to look for security and significance other than in God? What relieves your anxieties, and how might God be inviting you to return home and find your security and significance in Jesus?
