Scripture
Hosea 514-15 (NIV) 14 For I will be like a lion
to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will
tear them to pieces and go away I will carry
them off, with no one to rescue them. 15 Then I
will go back to my place until they admit their
guilt. And they will seek my face in their
misery they will earnestly seek me." 1 "Come,
let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to
pieces but he will heal us he has injured us but
he will bind up our wounds. 2 After two days he
will revive us on the third day he will restore
us, that we may live in his presence. 3 Let us
acknowledge the LORD let us press on to
acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he
will appear he will come to us like the winter
rains, like the spring rains that water the
earth." 4 "What can I do
with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you,
Judah? Your love is like the
morning mist, like the early dew
that disappears.

Point 1
My roller coaster ride begins when I refuse to
admit my sin to God. Hosea 515 (NIV) 15 Then I
will go back to my place until they admit their
guilt. And they will seek my face in their
misery they will earnestly seek me."

Point 2
My roller coaster ride hurls me through a deep
bank when my failure to admit my sin causes God
to bring judgment against me.   Hosea 514 (NIV)
14 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a
great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces
and go

away I will carry
them off, with no one to
rescue them.

Point 3
My roller coaster ride still at the bottom of the
track now makes a sharp turn as I recognize that
in my troubles I can turn to God. Hosea 515 -61
(NIV) 15 ...And they will seek my face in their
misery they will earnestly seek me." 1 "Come, let
us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us he has injured us but he
will bind up our wounds.

Point 4
My roller coaster ride now winds up the track as
I restore my relationship with God and give Him
back the areas of my life that I once had control
over. Hosea 63 (NIV) 3 Let us acknowledge the
LORD let us press on to acknowledge him

Point 5
My roller coaster ride ends when I stop thinking
that Gods faithfulness to me gives me permission
to do whatever I want. Hosea 63-4 (NIV) 3 As
surely as the sun rises, he will appear he will
come to us like the winter rains, like the spring
rains that water the earth." "What can
I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do
with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning
mist, like the early
dew that disappears.
