A prayer based on Matthew 5:14-16.

Hosea was an Old Testament prophet whom God asked to marry a prostitute. Crazy, right? God literally required his prophet to marry someone who not only was already a prostitute when she came on the scene, but also continued to offer herself in exchange for favors after their marriage. It's unthinkable, really, that God would ask a man like Hosea set apart for the work of the Lord to endure such a thing. But at the same time, Hosea's obedience and the circumstances that followed created a perfect picture of what it means to live with the Gospel at the center of our lives.

The only way I can make sense of Hosea's story is that perhaps God created him to be a part of his story for a specific purpose. To display his power, love, grace, and plan of redemption to the onlooking world and to us who are reading about it in his word many years later.

Are you willing to let God do what he pleases in your life so it can demonstrate his faithfulness to those around you? Listen to today's podcast episode from Brooke McGlothlin.
