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.

Time To Endure 4

Wisdom is the key to endurance. We have a standing of peace with God and access in His presence (Rom 5:1-2, Eph 1:3-6, Heb 4:16). Enduring trials produces character (Rom 5:3-4). We need to get rid of hindrances to running our race (Heb 12:1-2). Hebrew words for faith illustrate endurance: (1) Amen -  pictures a weak man leaning on a staff (Job 13:15); (2) Batach - pictures casting down a wrestling opponent (1Pe 5:7, Psa 55:22)



Scripture References: Romans 5:3-4, Hebrews 4:16, Ephesians 1:3-6, Romans 5:1-2, Psalms 55:22, Job 13:15, Hebrews 12:1-2
