"Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them." Hosea 14:9
Hosea sums up his entire book in this last verse. He calls Israel to choose wisdom, seek after God's purpose and desire to understand. The ways of the Lord are right; He is just. In our finite minds, we sometimes question the ways of God; we are tempted to assign blame and not trust. If God were really in control, He wouldn't allow _______________. We are called to remember His ways are higher, His plan is perfect, and He is always right.
If we seek to know and understand and have a desire to accept His purpose, He will reveal Himself to us. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." James 1:5
