Scripture:
“Let's return to the Lord. He has torn us to shreds, but he will bandage our wounds and make us well.”Hosea 6:1 CEV
Observation:
Hosea cries out to the people, “Let’s return to the Lord.” He knew that things were not well and that God was not pleased. Therefore, he told the people to return to the Lord. He went on to say that the Lord had torn them to shreds, but if they returned, God would bandage their wounds and make them well. He understood that God was their hope.
Application:
When we sense God’s displeasure with our lives, we must run to Him, not away from Him. When we have messed up, we don’t hide from God, but run to Him because He is super faithful and will always received those who come to Him, even after they have messed up. Even when we are the problem, God will bandage our wounds and make us well. God heals, even self-inflicted wounds.
Prayer:
Lord, teach me to never run away from You, but to run to You whenever I mess things up. Teach me to humbly submit myself to You, knowing You are the healer who can and will make all things new.Thank You for Your faithfulness to Your people and Your faithfulness to me. You are incredible. Help me to be more like You each day.
Yours Forever,
Jeff
