Today’s Scripture Reading
Hosea 14:1-9
Today’s Key Verse: Hosea 14:9b (GNT)
The LORD’s ways are right, and righteous people live by following them, but sinners stumble and fall because they ignore them.
Reflect
Reread verses 5-8. What images are used to describe the LORD’s love? What does the phrase “return to the LORD” mean to you? Verse 9 reads like a proverb. After now having read several chapters from the book of Hosea, what are your thoughts as you read this concluding verse? What have you learned about the ways of God?
Pray
Lord God, your ways are indeed right. Help me to follow your ways so that I may grow wise in the knowledge of your teachings. Shelter me in the safety of your love. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are seeking God’s forgiveness.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Leviticus 16:1-19: Moses gives Aaron the LORD’s instructions concerning the sacrifices to be made on the Day of Atonement.
