Hosea 14:2 - Additional Comments
We are given instructions of how to return to the Lord, of how to repent. We are to do it with words. Obviously the words must match what is in our heart. God even tells us what to say.
1. We to as forgiveness from God. This implies repentance.
2. We are to ask God to receive us once again.
3. We are to glorify and praise God with our words.
How simple to do, eh? Yet how difficult, because we have to get our heart to where it really means this.
