Hosea 2:7. And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them;
They cannot find satisfaction in sinful pleasure; that which once they easily obtained, they shall no longer be able to procure.
Hosea 2:7. And she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
Am I addressing a backslider? Has God hedged up your way? Is there a whisper in your heart which reminds you of better days and happier times? Oh, stifle not that whisper! Let it be heard within your spirit; if it be but a gentle voice, listen to it till it increases in force, and sounds like the very voice of God in your soul; it will be for your present and eternal good if you do so.
