Hosea 14
KJV


1 O israel, return unto the Lord thy God;
for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him,
Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously:
so will we render the calves of our lips.
3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses:
neither will we say any more to the work of our hands,
Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely:
for mine anger is turned away from him.
5 I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily,
and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
6 His branches shall spread,
and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
7 They that dwell under his shadow shall return;
they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine:
the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols?
I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree.
From me is thy fruit found.
9 Who is wise, and he shall understand these things?
prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right,
and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We seek Your light and pray that You
shed Your light upon us so that we live not only
on earth but in You, the eternal and living One.
May our lives be drawn into eternity,
to the praise of Your name,
O Father.
May we take Your Word to heart so that we can
become true men and women,
able to bear everything in Your name and to remain
in the love You want to give us.
Rouse us to become true men and women at the
side of Jesus Christ our Savior,
who has been patient in all things with all people.
Be with us at all times,
Lord our God.
You are our help and our refuge.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
