3 Pictures From Hosea 1-3

11/25/2022

This summer, while reading through the Bible using the Sweeter Than Honey #Biblereading plan, I came to the #OldTestament book of #Hosea. ​ In chapters 2-3, we see 3 visual pictures. 1st, Hosea shows us a picture of #God’s #mercy. 2nd, we see a picture of #Heaven. 3rd, a picture of His love. God's undeserved mercy, Heaven, and God's steadfast love are all pictures I needed to see that day. I hope these visual pictures from the book of Hosea are just what you need to see today too! #Biblestudy
“Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them..." Hosea 14:9
This summer, while reading through the Bible using the Sweeter Than Honey Bible reading plan, on July 16 I came to the Old Testament book of Hosea. ​

In chapters two and three of Hosea, we see three visual pictures. First, Hosea shows us a picture of God’s mercy. Second, we see a picture of Heaven. Third, a picture of His love.

God's undeserved mercy, Heaven, and God's steadfast love are all pictures I needed to see that day. I hope these visual pictures from the book of Hosea are just what you need to see today too, friend!

Intentional About Sharing the Gospel

11/18/2022

I was listening to a preacher recently who posed a question about the way that we share the #Gospel. His question essentially centered on whether we only #witness when there is a clear opportunity or if we make a concerted effort to go out to witness. We've heard it said that we may be the only #Bible some people ever read which is why our actions and attitudes are so important. I encourage you to go out today with the distinct purpose of sharing the Gospel and the love of #Christ. Be the sower!
I was listening to a preacher at a missions conference recently who posed a question about the way that we share the Gospel with unbelievers. His question essentially centered on whether we only witness when there is a clear opportunity handed to us or if we make a concerted effort to go out on purpose to witness to unbelievers.

​I have to admit that my mind was intrigued, and I began to consider my own life. I find that often I leave my witnessing opportunities up to “chance” encounters with unsaved people as I am going about my regular life. As I have pondered on and prayed through these thoughts, I have come to the conclusion that waiting for the opportunities to witness is not wrong. BUT if that is the ONLY time I speak of the wondrous love of my Lord, I may be missing the point of the Great Commission as Christ gave to His disciples prior to His ascension.

Recently, while I was reading through the Bible with the Sweeter Than Honey Bible reading plan, I came to Matthew 13.

The devotional reading that day was about where to find rest for your soul from Matthew 11:
“Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
But when I got to chapter 13 and saw "the Kingdom of Heaven" repeated over a half dozen times, it really caught my attention and stood out to me!
