Day 491 (5/5) – Hosea 10:1-11:12
This verse stood out to me today because it seemed so relevant to us in our times: “Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your warriors, therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed…” Yet, we are reminded again of the “steadfast love” of God. How gracious and good He has been to us!

Day 490 (5/4) – Hosea 8:1-9:17; Mark 14:53-65
What struck you today? For me, it was this: “They consecrated themselves to the thing of shame, and became detestable like the thing they loved” and “My God will reject them because they have not listened to Him…” And then we have the illegal trial of Jesus, false witnesses, and Jesus declaring the truth about Himself… but the high priest rejected Him and they condemned Him to death. God will take this travesty of justice and turn it into glory!

Day 489 (5/3) – Hosea 6:1-7:16; Matthew 26:57-68
“For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.” God spoke this to Israel and Judah in the midst of their deep rebellion against Him, yet it could be spoken to us today. This is worth personal meditation. If someone were to observe our lives, would our walk, other than church attendance (sacrifice and burnt offerings) be any different than the rest of the world? Or would our walk be filled with steadfast love and the knowledge of God?

Day 488 (5/2) – Hosea 4:1-5:15; John 18:12-24
What struck me today, despite all the similarities to our own culture (swearing, lying, stealing, murder, adultery…), was the judgment upon those “who move the landmark”. Upon them, God says, He will “pour out my wrath like water”. It would be a profitable discussion for your family today to talk about what God meant by this and apply it to our lives in our times. This is important to do, for we do not want to be as Peter, who from fear of the world, denied Jesus.

Day 487 (5/1) – Hosea 2:2-3:5; Philemon 1:8-25
Our passage is heartbreaking, for it mirrors our own culture today. It should also be a reminder to each of us, personally, that it is easy to fall into the same trap. We act like those who worship God, but our hearts can grow more fond of the things of the world or its ways and thinking. In Hosea’s day, the people still did the feasts, the new moons, the Sabbaths; in our day it might be doing church on Sunday, singing songs, hearing the sermon, putting money in the plate. Today is a day to check our heart before the Lord. Just as Philemon was being called to go against the grain of culture and maybe his own emotions, so, too, are we. (Watch the Philemon overview video.).
