“Therefore, I will block her way with thorns and put a hedge so she can’t find her paths.”
Hosea 2:8 CJB verse 6 in other translations
What God is saying here is He’s going to put a hedge of protection around His beloved to keep her on His path! He does the same for us by placing thorns in the way of our own paths of sin and pride, so it hurts when we stray off of His perfect path!
“Adonai protects all who love Him, but all the wicked He destroys.”
Psalm 145:20 CJB
God places storms in our lives to protect us, direct us and correct us. They may seem thorny and uncomfortable, but they are there for our own good!
“He shows me grace; and He is my fortress, my stronghold, in whom I find shelter, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues my people under me.”
Psalm 144:2 CJB
God really is our protector and covers us in all the storms of life! So no matter what may be happening, know that God really is leading you and guiding you, so just look to Him!
Have a blessed day!
Shabbat Shalom!
