Day 28 - HOSEA (
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. After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. 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. (Hosea 6:1-3)
Hosea was God’s prophet to the northern kingdom of Israel which, not unlike most of America today, was living in godlessness and immorality. And so, Hosea’s call to repentance of Israel may very well be God’s call to repentance of America today. Before we as a nation can return to the Lord, we need to first individually repent of our personal sins. When we do repent and pursue the knowledge of God, He promises to come to us like the rain - He will come upon us in the power of the Holy Spirit to revive us spiritually. As enough people experience personal revival, perhaps, God will be merciful to send us a national revival like in the past. Will you return to the Lord today and pursue Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength?
