God wants “to heal
Israel” (Hosea 7:1). Sadly, there is so much “sin” in the hearts of
Israel - “I trained them and made them strong. Yet, they plan evil
against Me” (Hosea 7:15). God wants to send His blessing. Sadly, “they
don’t return to the Most High” (Hosea 7:16). This is Israel’s story.
It’s also our story. God is calling us to return to Him, to be trained
by Him, to live in His presence, to enjoy His blessing, to give praise
and glory to Him.
"Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!" (Matthew 17:6),. even after there us divine revelation (Matthew 16:17), the influence of evil can be felt (Matthew 16:23), The warning - "Be careful! Watch out ... !" must never be forgotten. Satan is looking for an opportunity to leads us away from the Lord. We must hear what Jesus is saying to us about discipleship (Matthew 16:24), and we must commit ourselves to Him (Matthew 16:25). There is nothing more important than this (Matthew 16:26). If we are to be true followers of Jesus, we must learn to live our lives in the light of eternity (Matthew 16:27). We are to seek revelations of God's eternal Kingdom, revelations which will send us back, from the mountain-top, to live each day for Jesus.
