Lord's love never fail, yet discipline strictly.

Good thing is I'm not a prophet.
何西阿書 Hosea
It is primarily about his message—a holistic critique of Israel. Using powerful metaphorical language, Hosea attacks theology, morals, economy and politics. God is passionately concerned for both the responsibility of the individual as well as society to care for and to give justice to the poor. But the message he gives Hosea is not only one of drastic judgment, but also one of his astounding love, mercy and forgiveness. 
1. 一位信實的丈夫與一位不忠的妻子 -- 個人的感情(1-3)
2. 一個信實的主與一個不忠的以色列 -- 國家的寫照(4-14)

何西阿書 Hosea 11:4 我用慈繩愛索牽引他們,我待他們如人放鬆牛的兩腮夾板,把糧食放在他們面前。I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke from their jaws, and I laid meat before them.


Hosea 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord; say unto Him, “Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously, so will we offer the calves of our lips.

聖經都是神向我們的說話,惟獨詩篇教我們怎樣向神說話。 Poetry and prayer.
The Psalms, like the mirror, show us the shape of our souls and the curve of our sin, realities deep within us, hidden and obscured, for which we need focus and names.

Book I (Psalms 1—41)
The five books of Moses are matched by the five books of David like two five-fingered hands clasping one another in greeting. 


1 Praying Our Inattention 專心
2 Praying Our Intimidation
3 Praying Our Trouble   Reach out to God for help.
4 Dealing with Anger     Anger is a emotion not a sin.
5 Relying on God           Instead of allowing our fear or anger to dominate our thinking, we need to focus on God.

詩篇 Psalm 2:3 說:「我們要掙開他們的捆綁,脫去他們的繩索!」“Let us break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us.”
