Hosea 6:1-3
A Call to Repentance
1 Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. 2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. 3 Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
I was just thinking about how I have the tendency to place so much importance on people and situations. I usually misinterpret the authority that I think they have and I often forget who truly is affecting the course of events. Yes, God is in control of all things and I have to believe this fact every day so that I don't get tossed about by my emotions and feelings.
It amazes me how quickly that I can forget that God is in control and not me. I confess that it is a daily battle for me to submit to His authority, to trust Him and to obey Him, but as my heart repents and returns to Him I clearly see His desire to heal me and to renew a right relationship between us.
What good is knowledge if it is not of the Lord? May it be our goal to pursue the knowledge of the Lord daily and to thank Him constantly for what He has done for us.
