“It was I who taught Ephraim to walk,

taking them by the arms;

but they did not realize

it was I who healed them.” 

(Hosea 11:3 NIV)

Sometimes God is at work in our lives but we don’t see it. We’re either too busy to see it at all, or we think we did it ourselves. So we fail to fully embrace what God is doing; and we miss out on His best. Or we enjoy some of the benefits of His grace but don’t give Him thanks. We don’t worship. In that case, too we miss out.
