Daily Devo | Reaping the Whirlwind (Prophet & Loss, Hosea 8:1-7)

What is planted in the ground seems so small and inconsequential, but the harvest it yields can be tremendous. Extending this metaphor even further, God says that those who sow the wind (and what could be more insubstantial than the wind?) will reap the whirlwind (a tornado of destruction). What seeds do we sow today? Are we sowing seeds that will lead to destruction, or seeds that may lead to the promised fruit of the Spirit?

For Reflection:

“They have planted the wind and will harvest the whirlwind." - Hosea 8:7

- Israel's choice of leaders and false gods (golden calf) both centered around what they falsely thought would bring them material comfort and security. Are we in danger of making a similar mistake today? Explain.

- Planting the wind seems so small and inconsequential, but wind can become very destructive. Are you wrestling with any seemingly small and inconsequential temptations that could lead to self-destruction if left unchecked?
