Much has been written and said about the prophets of the Old Testament beingrather harsh spokesmen for God. However, as we read through the prophets, we find time and again the anguish and heartache expressed by God throughHis prophets and His great love for His creatures, sinful and rebellious thoughthey be.The purpose of the devotional, Designated for Assignment: God's Love in theMinor Prophets, is to bring to the forefront, the great love of our Creator. We seethis evidenced especially in these twelve short books written primarily to thepeople of Judah and Israel, but also to Gentiles as well.Each of the twelve devotionals in this book highlight aspects of this love andremind the reader of the wondrous, loving character of God, culminating in Hissending His only Son to die and redeem mankind. It is the purpose of the bookto draw readers closer to our Heavenly Father by gaining a fresh appreciationof the great love He has for us.
