6. III. Applications God may ask you to do something hard.
How might you be like Gomer? Hosea?
If you feel a hedge around you, why is it there?
God never glosses over sin. God leaves a door of hope open for any sinner. He also goes after us when we sin.
What temptations might lead you to be unfaithful to the Lord?
Outwardly we or our country may look good. The problems are inside. Sin eats away from the inside. A door of hope is always there.
