引言：

神的百姓要选择做一个智慧通达人，要归回、要认识神和行在神的道上，使他们活在神的祝福和恩典当中。

一、归向耶和华（v1-3）

先知向以色列人指出了唯一的出路，就是要归向耶和华。然而，他们的归回也意味着他们需要悔改，离弃他们所犯的罪。神的爱，从来都没有改变过。当我们愿意悔改归向神，祂必会恢复我们。

二、领受神应许（v4-8）

神主动施行恩典，「转消」祂的怒气并应许会医治以色列的灵性，无条件地爱她，使她完全富足，并保护她。而面对神不离不弃的爱，离弃神的孤儿终于醒悟并与偶像断绝关系。因此，他们将再次得回神要赐给他们的丰盛应许。

三、选择走真道（v9）

谁是智慧及通达人呢？这似乎是每一个属神的人的挑战。我们或行走或跌倒、或顺命或悖逆，完全在于我们的选择。因此，我们要作个智慧人，我们要明白只有跟从耶和华才是蒙福之路。

总结：要做智慧人

我们要求神帮助我们做个智慧人，选择蒙福的道路，使我们一生都不偏离真道。

Hosea 14 Return orphan, God alone is the way

The Morning Devotion Speakers: Ps Stella Ling

Introduction：

God’s people are to choose to be wise and prudent people, to return, to know God and to walk in His ways, so that they may live in His blessings and grace.

1. Return to the Lord (v1-3)

The prophets showed Israel the only way out, which was to return to the Lord. However, their return also meant that they needed to repent and turn away from the sins they had committed. The love of God never changes. When we are willing to repent and turn to God, He will restore us.

2. Receiving God’s Promises (v4-8)

God takes the initiative to exercise grace, to “turn away” His anger and promises to heal Israel spiritually, to love her unconditionally, to make her completely rich and to protect her. And in the face of God’s unfailing love, the orphans who had forsaken Him finally came to their senses and broke off their relationship with idols. As a result, they will once again receive back the fullness of the promises that God will give them.

3. Choosing to walk in the truth (v9)

Who is the wise and prudent man? This is the challenge of every man of God. We walk or stumble, obey or disobey, depending on our choice. Therefore, we need to be wise and we need to understand that the only way to be blessed is to follow the LORD.

Conclusion: Be a wise man

We ask God to help us to be wise and to choose the blessed path, the path that will keep us from straying from the truth all the days of our lives.
