Memory Verse: 1 Peter 2:10
Day 1: Read Hos 1:2-9, and discuss: What was the significance of the meanings of the names of Hosea's children? Did the names dictate behavior of the heart or describe the behavior of the heart? How does the Bible describe our behavior before salvation?
Day 2: Read Hos 2:2-7 and discuss: What attracts us to a life of sin? How could God get our attention to no longer make a life of sin enjoyable? Why does God seek to hinder our pursuit of sin? Is it for His benefit or ours?
Day 3: Hos 2:14-21 and discuss: How does God's interaction with us differ from Sin's "lovers"? Which one is disadvantaged to pursue us? Which one takes advantage of us when we pursue? How is it beneficial for us to be called into the "wilderness" void of other enticements when turning back to God? Does the new name we get reflect the change we make for God or the change God makes in us? Why is God glorified most in who we are rather than what we do?
