Hosea 2:15. "And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt."
HOPE OUT OF TROUBLE. From the place of disaster there comes hope through the din. From where the forbidden was buried, hope rises again. Unfaithfulness to God will not be overlooked or ignored. There is a price to be paid before one can be restored. Sin has to be confessed and then truly forsaken - Before restoration takes place; repentance for the path one has taken. Then God in compassion forgives us and we are right with Him - And when fellowship is restored, a new life can begin.
In mercy God forgave us and brought us to His place. He continues to love us and show us His grace. When failure and sin come in and brings separation, It breaks down the joy and blessings of true sanctification. Holiness is important for God is eternally holy, And cannot accept us when we don't obey Him truly. To pretend righteousness is there when we turn to sin, Is to deny our position in Christ and obedience to Him.
And no longer for satisfaction in the dark world we grope We can dwell in the light and the warmth of God's love, And experience and appreciate the blessings we have.
"O Gracious Father, again I thank Thee for being able to come again openly to Thee and know I am not out of place I thank Thee for grace that is given in life to serve Thee acceptably. If there are times, I stray from Thee, please make me quickly aware of it so I can get to the door of hope and acceptance as soon as possible. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
