Another reading from Hosea today. The prophet and the Gospel writer present us with a contrast; the self-righteous (piety as ephemeral as the morning dew) versus the humble (like the spring rain). I admit to the sin of pride. I have been blessed with gifts and sometimes consider myself a bit better than others because of my gifts. I forget that I am lacking in gifts others have. I have been given my gifts to use for others and they have their God-given gifts. My gifts are not better and therefore neither am I. I’d better work on my humility.
