Exalt God

“Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.”

Hosea 11:7 jumped off the pages of my Bible this morning. Turning from the highlighted words on page 1388, I flipped to page 1387; thinking surely I’d highlighted more than just those words.

As assumed, the first part of the verse was also marked. Hosea 11:7’s black print beamed from beneath the yellow highlight. “So My people are bent on turning from Me.”

I’d love your thoughts. Are God’s people in America bent on turning from Him? Certainly there are a few who aren’t, just as there were in Hosea’s day. However, God made a general statement about the spiritual condition of the nation. Would He say the same thing about many of us today?

What does God explain is the opposite of being “bent on turning from Him”?

Is it calling on Him? No.

It’s exalting Him.

God wants us to exalt Him in our lives. Although exalting Him in worship at church is nice, I don’t think that’s what He’s talking about. I think God wants people to look at us and find Jesus.

What do you think?

Love you,
