Hosea 11

Today, I read this passage reminding me of the plight of a lost generation. God is still calling out the names of those held captive. He still scans the horizon.

When Israel was only a child, I loved him.

    I called out, "My son!'-called him out of Egypt.

    But when others called him,

    he ran off and left me.

Still, I stuck with him. I led Ephraim.

    I rescued him from human bondage,

    But he never acknowledged my help,

    never admitted that I was the one pulling his wagon,
