To Know The Lord

Scripture:

“Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.””
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭6:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Hoseas speaks to the people about the Lord.  He says, “Oh, that we might know the Lord!  Let us press on to know Him”.  He then goes on to tell the people, “He will respond to us”.  Even though the people of Israel had prostituted themselves with other gods, Hosea knew that if they cried out to the Lord, He would surely respond to them because God always responds to repentance.

Application:

God is faithful to us, even when we are unfaithful to Him.  Like Israel, we walk away and do our own things at times.  God waits for us to press on to know Him, but He always responds to the repentant cry of His people.  When we mess up, we have an advocate and God is simply waiting for our return.

Prayer:

Father, thank you for showing me Your faithfulness this morning.  You are amazing! Help me to be more like You as I relate to people.  Help me to follow You closely and to walk according to Your ways at all times.  Help me to walk in Your faithfulness every day and to represent You well.

Your Son,
Jeff
