One Lucky Lady4/15/2017 She was part of a dishonorable profession. One of the lowest of society and looked down upon by self-righteous individuals in good company but sought after under the cover of darkness. Most well-respected men would not consider marrying her due to her sordid past; therefore, she had little hope of ever leaving her chosen profession even if she wanted to.

And did she recognize the blessing she had received in the form of a husband?

Marry Who?!4/12/2017 “When the LORD first spoke through Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, ‘Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the LORD.’” ~Hosea 1:2 This was Hosea’s first assignment as a prophet, the first thing the LORD told him to do. What an assignment!
It wasn’t “easy” like Jonah’s command to warn Nineveh of God’s impending judgment. It wasn’t awe inspiring like Isaiah’s foray into the throne room and presence of God. And it wasn’t power-filled like Jeremiah’s calling to oversee the building up, breaking down, planting, and destroying of nations. No, Hosea’s calling was much more life impacting.
