THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

 

Psalm 8:4 "What is man, that you are mindful of him?"

 





Praise The Lord
When you're up against a struggle that shatters all your dreams, and your hopes have been cruelly crushed by Satan's manifested scheme. And you feel the urge to submit to earthly fears, don't let the faith you're standin' in seem to disappear.
Praise the Lord, He can work through those who praise Him. Praise the Lord, for our God inhabits praise.  Brown Banister/Mike Hudson

Take Abraham for instance, God told him to go to a destination, build an altar, and sacrifice his only son. The same son Abraham had been promised by God to be the beginning of many nations. The one whom Sarah had laughed about when God told her she would conceive.
 
Think of the many times we have been spared during a trial and the Lord has worked out a miracle in the situation. Did we praise Him? Thank Him for it. Did we even connect it to God? Did you instead think that you worked it out yourself?

Thought for the day; look for the miracle in today and Praise The Lord for it.

Love story of Hosea and Gomer

Today I am going on with Hosea and Gomer's story, only because I am fascinated by Hosea's love for her. I remember a study on Proverbs where the speaker said,"Love remembers only the right things." 

Do we remember only the right things about our spouse,children,family members, friends, neighbors, when we are angry at them? Have we been mad at them for years and never rid ourselves of what we have harbored in our heart against them? Do you even remember why you were mad?

Hosea could have drug out all of the unpleasant things about Gomer, (and there were plenty), but he didn't. Hosea remembered all of the good things.  Hosea had God's love for her and saw her with God's eyes. God doesn't care about the mess we are, He picks us up where we are and starts again. Forgiveness is as close as the mention of His name.

When Gomer's life spiraled out of control, Hosea didn't say I told you so. Gomer was in bondage. She never experienced God's love and she didn't really believe in man's love. She needed a revelation.

That revelation came on the auction block. Hosea bought and paid all that he had for Gomer. Hosea in Chapter 2: verse 14,15 says,

"Behold I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfort to her. And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the
Valley of Achor as a door of hope;.......

Thought for today, say to yourself, "Today, I choose to forgive__name ."
