God
speaks to His people with a promise of blessing and a warning against
disobedience. The blessing is there, waiting for us. We lose out on the
blessing when we continue to walk on the pathway of disobedience. God
says to us, “Plough new ground for yourselves, plant righteousness, and
reap the blessings that your devotion to Me will produce.” This is the
promise of blessing, with its call to return to the Lord. Alongside this
promise of blessing, with its call to turn to the Lord - “It is time
for you will come and pour out blessings upon you” (Hosea 10:12), there
is God’s warning against following a way of life upon which His judgment
rests: “But instead you planted evil and reaped its harvest. You have
eaten the fruit produced by your lies” (Hosea 10:13).
