HOSEA 14:2-10
I will restore them from malpractice, I will love them willingly, for murkaKu has receded from them. They will return and dwell in My Naive and grow like wheat; They will flourish like the vine, which is well known like the wine of Lebanon.
PSALM 51:3-4.8-9.12-14,17
Arise again to me the joy of being saved from Thee, and complete me with a willing spirit! O Lord, open my lips, that my mouth preach your praises to Thee!
MATTHEW 10:16-23
Jesus told his Disciples who would perform the missionary work and remind of the persecution.
Musings
Jesus reminded his disciples that they would be wary of everyone while performing a missionary task
Matthew 10:17-18
Beware of everyone; For there will give you to the Council of religion, and they shall regret you in the house of worship. And because of me, ye shall be led to the face of the rulers and kings as a testimony unto them and to those who know not God.
In this world since long ago always colored by religious conflicts or beliefs of faith because conflicting claims their religion or belief of faith is the most correct, even forcing others to have faith or religion like them.
In Jesus ' time, the Pharisees and scribes claimed the most correct Jewish religion and forced Jesus to stop his Teachings and they continued to urge Jesus to finally crucify Jesus.
Jesus reminded us that we will be hated for telling the name of Jesus and we should remain faithful, not to our faith in Him.
Matthew 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all men because of My Name; But the man who endureth to his end will be saved.
And also Jesus said we should not worry because our Father in heaven is with us.
Matthew 10:19-20
When they submit you, do not be afraid of how and what you are to say, for they will be given to you in the meantime. For not ye that speak, but the spirit of your father; He that will speak in you.
This situation was also experienced in the era of the Prophet Hosea where the Israelites faced persecution, were exiled and deported by the Gentiles.
Hosea advised her people to keep believing in God.
Hosea 14:10
Who is wise, let him understand all this; Who understands, let him know; For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the righteous are put down, but the rebels slip there.
Not only the 12 disciples of Jesus who experienced this because now there is also the risk we face in the time of preaching the gospel.
In the family, there can be differences in faith belief between family members and if not addressed wisely it will cause quarrel.
Matthew 10:21
People will give up his brother to be killed, as well as a father of his son. And the children will rebel against his parents and will kill them.
Therefore, we must be vigilant to ourselves namely our attitudes and deeds and also we are wary of the attitudes and deeds of others to ourselves.
In the face of challenges and obstacles, we must be wise and cleverly overcome them.
Matthew 10:16
Look, I sent you like a sheep to the midst of a wolf, therefore let you be as clever as a serpent and sincere as a dove
We cannot act recklessly and we must keep vigilant in order not to be overly confident or easily wavering against the problems that occur and continue to rely on God.
