Daily Devo | What You Don't Know *Can* Hurt You! (Prophet & Loss, Hosea 4:1-9)
Description
Contrary to the popular saying, what you do not know can hurt you. In this case, the people did not know God. More than just a lack of head-knowledge, God accuses the people of having no real relationship with God. Knowledge about God can be a great start to real relationship, but it is a terrible substitute for real relationship. For all our knowledge about God, do we truly know God? And if we don't know God in love, how will the world know?

For Reflection:
Knowledge about God can be a great start to real intimacy with God, but it is a poor substitute for real relationship.
- Have you known people who knew a lot about God but didn't seem to really know God? How did you experience those people? In contrast, what impact did people have on you when you sensed that they truly knew and loved God?
- Have you ever thought of yourself as a priest (1 Peter 2:9)? How do you feel about the idea that your relationship with God has an inevitable impact on others?
