GOD DESCRIBES HIS LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE
by David Wilkerson
[May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011]
God describes Himself this way: "I taught Ephraim [Israel] to walk, taking
them by their arms; but they did not know that I healed them" (Hosea 11:3).
In the original language this verse reads, "I came to them in their despair
and tenderly nursed them through foul, rugged places. I held them in my arms as
a nurse!" But Hosea 11:7 says, "My people are bent on backsliding from
Me." The word bent here means "hanging in suspense, hanging in doubt."
Israel was not sure of the Lord's love and tenderness and God was saying to
Hosea, "My people are doubting My love for them. They do not really know Me
and they are unsure of My love!"
It was true! Israel could not believe God still loved them. They were
idolaters, backsliders and doubters and they were probably thinking, "We
brought God's displeasure on ourselves. We sinned willfully and He will
surely judge us!" But God said, "How can I give you up, Ephraim? . . . My
heart churns within Me; My sympathy is stirred" (v. 8).
Listen to His words of comfort and healing for you:
"For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit
would fail before Me, and the souls which I have made" (Isaiah 57:16). The
Lord was saying, "If all you saw in Me was anger, your spirit would fail
because it would be too overwhelming."
"For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and
was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart. I have seen his
ways, and will heal him; I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and
to his mourners" (v. 17-18). Does this sound like God gives up on His people
when they fail?
You may be going through deep waters right now. I do not mean temptation or
trials necessarily. I am talking about overwhelming events that are being
thrust on you that you cannot understand. Winds and waves of all kinds are
flooding you, things beyond your comprehension. They are coming to your home,
your church, your job, on all sides. But God wants to carry you through it all!
He wants to restore you to spiritual health! If all you can believe right now is
that He loves you in spite of all your stubborn ways, that He begs you to see
Him as your Divine Nurse, then that is enough!
