Hi NJ. The answer to your first question is, No, not always. But sometimes it is. It was in this case as the verse (Hosea 5:15) makes clear by referring to the need to acknowledge offense against God. I think if you read the whole series of Hosea devotionals on the blog you’ll find a balanced presentation of the Christian life. But here I was dealing with sin-caused afflictions.

So bodily disease, family disaster, business failure, or dark depression in believers are because God is angry with us? But who among us has not backslid and compromised, since we still sin? How does this not set Christians up to live in fear of what God might do to us if we step out of line?
