Daily Bible Reading – April 2021, God’s Word of Mercy and Forgiveness

DAY 10 OF 30

  

April 10

Introduction

Today’s reading begins with Hosea’s speech in which he foretells Israel’s punishment. The LORD’s judgment and the consequences of the people’s sinfulness are described.

Today’s Scripture Reading 

Hosea 9:1-16

Today’s Key Verse: Hosea 9:1b (GNT)

You have turned away from your God and have been unfaithful to him.

Reflect

In what ways have the people demonstrated their unfaithfulness to God? What warnings does Hosea give? Reread verses 10-16. The people are compared to “grapes growing in the desert.” How is God’s relationship with Israel described? What past actions are recalled? What does Hosea ask the LORD to do (verse 14)? What does the LORD threaten to do (verses 15-16)?

Pray

Lord God, keep me faithful to you. I promise to serve you. Order my steps this day so that all I do and say reflect your love and mercy. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading
