“You are against Me, your
Helper” (Hosea 13:9). God is our Helper. This is grace. How does He help
us? He is our “Saviour” (Hosea 13:4). “You are against Me.” This is
ingratitude. It’s not only disobedience of a command. It’s rejection of a
love, the greatest love of all, the love of God. If we do not turn to
the Lord to save us, we will turn to someone else, someone who will not
be able to save us - “Where, now, is your king, the one who is supposed
to save you?” (Hosea 13:10). What does God say about others who claim to
bring salvation to us? This is what He says: “There is no saviour
except Me" (Hosea 13:4). It is the Lord alone who “frees us from the
power of the grave” (Hosea 13:14) and “gives us “the opportunity to live
again” (Hosea 13;13).
