Summary: Acting on God's directions, Hosea pays his wife's dowry to stop her from having to do her job (again, she's a prostitute). He explains they are acting out how God loves His people, even when they seem beyond saving.
Response: Hosea's wife probably knows no other business. I doubt she would necessarily want to stop, and I'm almost certain she didn't understand the speech her weird husband gave to her. And yet, I often feel the same way about God. I'm sure He has great plans for me, but I go on doing my own. Lord, help me to understand Your ways.
