Do you worship God for Who He is or for What He does? Hosea 8-14

Hosea 13:6

As they had their pasture, they became satisfied,

And being satisfied, their heart became proud;

Therefore they forgot Me.

The entire book of Hosea is about Israel's unfaithfulness and how God dealt with it.   Israel had rejected God, despite His abundant mercy and love poured out upon them.  They, rather, pursued false gods, made with their own hands; or, God creation rather than God the Creator.    They not only sought other gods, these gods came out of God's blessing on them.   God gave them pasture lands and abundant food from those pastures.   As a result, instead of glorifying God for those blessings, they began to praise themselves and please themselves.  They became proud of themselves for "what they had accomplished" rather than praising God for how He had blessed them.  Their satisfaction lead to idol worship rather than glorification of God.  In Proverbs, Solomon makes an observation about the wicked, in the same way:

Proverbs 1:31

“So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way

And be satiated with their own devices.

Those who become satisfied with their own devices will cease to worship the God who loves them and wants to be glorified by them.   Israel became so satisfied with what they thought was their own accomplishments that they ceased to glorify God, who gave them those accomplishments.   We all seek to be satisfied.   When we do our tendency is to forget God and rest on our own accomplishments.  Let's not get so satisfied with what God give us that we fail to worship Him for Who He is rather than What He has done.
