Obtener la appDaily Bible Reading – July 2023, God’s Saving Word: Mercy and ForgivenessMuestra
July 22
Introduction
In yesterday's reading, the earlier verses in chapter 9 describe how the people have turned away from God and have been unfaithful to him, and Hosea warns that the time for punishment has come. In today’s reading, Hosea continues to describe the consequences of the people’s sinfulness, and the LORD pronounces judgment on the people.
Scripture Reading
Hosea 9:15—10:15
Today’s Key Verse: Hosea 10:12b
“It is time for you to turn to me, your LORD, and I will come and pour out blessings upon you.”
Reflect
Reread 10:11-15. The metaphor of a well-trained young cow is used to emphasize the people’s responsibility to be devoted to the LORD. If they had remained faithful, what would they have received? In what did the people place their trust? What will be the consequences of their unfaithfulness? According to verse 10:12, what do the people need to do to receive God's blessings?
Pray
Holy God, open my heart and mind to hear your voice and listen to you. Teach me to be obedient to your Word and keep me close in the safety of your love. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Hosea 11:1-11: God’s love for the people is expressed.
