Y’all, I don’t know if you read through the study of Hosea with She Reads Truth, but I did – honestly the first time in a long time I’ve been really intentional with spending time in the word – and it kicked my tail in just the best way possible. Life has been a little more than nuts lately, but as Martin Luther said, “I have so much to do I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”
While I can’t say I’m there yet (the part where I wake up 3 hours early to pray), I’ve tasted once again the sweetness that comes with cutting out the fluff and filling my life with God’s truth. There’s a hunger to be known so much in this world, and yet it’s so easy to forget that there’s One who is always with me (you, us) who knows every hair, every thought, every moment of our lives more intimately than we ourselves know. Not only that, he sees the depths of our hearts and loves us anyway. And that’s more than enough.
She Reads Truth is starting a new study today and I hope you guys will join in! The study is free, both on the site and on the app, and the worksheet resources are too! So if you’re wondering what the heck I’m doing, you can at least know this: I’m getting my heart and my mind into God’s word and letting the rest take care of itself.
Love you guys. Really. SO much,
Heather
Thanks for sharing this! I’m joining in a little late, but I’m looking forward to it!
I’m not familiar with that site or app, so thanks for the recommendation. I’m doing a chronological study of the Bible in a year and am in Daniel right now (one of my favorite books), but I know that Hosea is another one of those great mysterious and strange books packed with so much meaning. I mean, only God would tell someone to marry a prostitute and have it be for the good of the entire world, right?
Exactly! I love the book of Daniel too, it just speaks volumes to me!
Hosea wrecked me in the best way possible. It’s such a short book but packs a huge punch.
