Key Verses:
“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us.He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds. In just a short time (After two days he will revive us; on the third day NIV) he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence. Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know him.(Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him NIV) He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.” - Hosea 6:1-3 NLT
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. Hosea 6:6
I love how God intervenes in my quiet time with his word. I was sick yesterday with a bad sore throat that was going into my ears. I thought it was strep but the test was negative.
