The ways of the Lord are right

“Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.” - Hosea 14v9

All through the book of Hosea we see the mercy and grace of God as He pleads for people to turn to Him, or turn back to Him. Even at the very end He issues one last call for people to do right.

When it comes right down to it it is quite simple – God’s way is right – the righteous can walk in His way, but the wicked are going to stumble there. Eventually those who are not made righteous, as we know now by the blood of Christ, are going to suffer destruction since God’s way is perfect.

It really just makes sense – God is righteous, the righteous walk with him, the unrighteous will fall.
The wonderful thing is that God offers His righteousness to all who will accept His free gift.
