The book of Hosea is divided into two unequal sections: The first (Chapters 1–3) uses the relationship between Hosea and Gomer, to set the stage
for the second (Chapters 4–14), which deals with God’s complaint against Israel and the coming judgment. In the first, we have the faithful prophet and the faithless bride; in the second, we see the faithful God and faithless Israel.
The theme of the book is the loyal love of God for idolatrous Israel, and the power of His redemption and forgiveness to transform her into His beloved bride.

Courage for Conflict
1st Timothy is about fighting the good fight. 2nd Timothy is about the being a good soldier. We are an active participant in the Will of God (2Ti 1:1). When Paul and Timothy split up, Timothy was crying (2Ti 1:4-5). Do you have a passion burining in you? Paul wanted to "stir up the gift" in Timothy (2Tim 1:5-6). What Job feared happened (Job 3:20). Fear is false evindence that apears real. Job thought he did not have a mediator (Job 9:32-33, 1Ti 2:5). When Job gets the right attitude (Job 13:15, Job 19:25). "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and sound mind" (2Ti 1:7)
