Hosea 3
1 Then the Lord said to me, “Go and love your wife again, even though she commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the Lord still loves Israel, even though the people have turned to other gods and love to worship them.”
Father, Thank-You so much. I know this is exactly what You do for me. I am so …
Hosea 2 1 2:1 “In that day you will call your brothers Ammi—‘My people.’ And you will call your sisters Ruhamah—‘The ones I love.’
2 “But now bring charges against Israel—your mother—
for she is no longer my wife,
and I am no longer her husband.
Tell her to remove the prostitute’s makeup from her face
and the clothing that exposes her breasts.

Hosea 1 1 The Lord gave this message to Hosea son of Beeri during the years when Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah, and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.

Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do. 2 “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: 3 If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”
Father, give my children parents they can love …

1 Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.
Father, it sounds so simple: imitate You in everything I do. And as I read Your Word I know better and better …
Ephesians 4
1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.
Holy Spirit, this seems so impossible. I am such a sinner. I don’t know what my calling is, and I’m not sure I want to know. Don’t be too kind Lord. It is time to kick me into …
Ephesians 3
1 When I think of all this, I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the benefit of you Gentiles . . . 2 assuming, by the way, that you know God gave me the special responsibility of extending his grace to you Gentiles. 3 As I briefly wrote earlier, God himself revealed his mysterious plan to me. 4 As you read what I …
Ephesians 2
1 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. 2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us used to live that way, following …
Ephesians 1
1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus.
Jesus, why choose me Lord? I know You didn’t choose me as an apostle, but why choose me at all? I should be so lost right now. What is going on? Why did You choose Paul? I know You can choose whomever You wish. Help me …
Matthew 28
1 Early on Sunday morning, as the new day was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out to visit the tomb.
Jesus, where were You disciples? They were hiding and afraid. Out of great love for You these women were willing to risk confronting the guards and the stone and the grave. They loved You enough to risk their lives to care for Your …
