**DECEMBER 8**

**DECEMBER 8** Hosea 7:1–8:14 • Israel deceitful like hot oven; mixed with nations, forgets God. • Sow wind, reap whirlwind; forgotten Maker—trust Egypt/Assyria in vain. Psalm 139:7–12 • No escape from God’s Spirit: heaven, Sheol, or uttermost sea. • Darkness no cover; night as bright as day. Proverbs 29:20 • Hasty words worse than fool; little hope. 2 John 1–13 • Walk in truth/love; guard against antichrists denying Christ’s flesh. • Keep teaching, no greeting to false teachers; joy soon face-to-face.
