Hosea 14 - Day 755

Hosea 14 - Day 755 (link to reading)

Scripture: Hosea 14:1-9

Commentary (casualcommentaryblog.wordpress.com):
The final chapter of Hosea focuses on Israel’s future repentance and restoration. Though chapter 13 highlighted that this hope is for Israel’s future, not their present, chapter 14 beautifully and poetically describes that future day when God would invite people to return to him, confess their sins, ask for forgiveness, and offer themselves and their worship, while once and for all ridding themselves of idolatry, self-reliance, and unfaithfulness.

Application: In God’s unfathomable mercy and love, He has provided a way for us to fix what we have broken.  Like a loving parent, He has made it simple for us to be right with Him.  All we have to do is repent from our sins and worship Him alone. 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, have mercy on me a sinner...
