Hosea 1:1a
"The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea,..." Now, you've got to stop right away, don't you? I feel sorry for these poor guys out in the truck. They've got to go back and forth with me. I hope you realize that. And sometimes I get a little put out that they stay too long on the Scriptures or too long on me, but we're all human, and we've got to expect those things. But anyway, when it says that "The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea," what does that make this? Well, it's the Word of God! A human instrument wrote it, but never forget that it's God's Word. Okay, now let's read and stay with it.
