[S] Hosea 4:14 --
14 I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
Or your brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are ruined.
[O] This is a very convicting verse because while I may be judgmental about the issues around me I may actually be indirectly condoning them. According to this verse if the men kept their integrity and behaved appropriately then there won't be any harlots.
[A] If I keep myself devoted to following God's ways, then I will be helping to remove issues in my society by removing one less influence factor of adding fuel to the fire. My sinful nature can only help spread the poison.
[P] Dear God, please make my heart purified to pursue after Your own standards so that I would contribute to making this society a better one. I want to understand more of Your wonderful heart to live out the life of wellspring touching others live with Your light. In Jesus' name. Amen.
