Today: [Hosea 4] God Contends with Our Generation. In chapter 4 of Hosea the prophet cries out as God’s spokesman against the blindness of the people regarding their own adulterous ways. The people of Hosea’s generation deeply bemoaned the decadence of the younger people in their midst, but Hosea declares that the decadence and godlessness of youth was only a reflection of the older generations refusal to walk in humility before God.
