Sowing the Wind

Hosea 8:6 gives an ominous warning: "For they sow the wind and they reap the whirlwind." Those who claim to serve God often say they get little or nothing out of it, or even that their service is an unreasonable burden. But great reward is found, both in this life and in the next, by those who truly commit to God. This lesson takes us through highlights from Hosea and reminds us how vital it is to give God our all, all the time.
