POSSESSIONS......

Hosea 2:8

She doesn’t realize it was I who gave her everything she has—the grain, the new wine, the olive oil. Even the gold and silver she used in worshiping the god Baal were gifts from me!

Material possessions are success symbols in most societies. Israel was a wealthy nation at this time, and Gomer may have accumulated silver and gold. However Gomer did not realize that Hosea had given her all she owned, just as Israel did not recognize God as the Giver of blessings. Both Gomer and Israel used their possessions irresponsibly as they ran after other lovers and other gods.

How do you use your possessions? 

Use what God has given you to honor Him!!
