I'm a Christian woman who is learning daily from God's Word, and growing into the woman God has called me to be. Here you will find thoughts, questions, musings, and reflections of small issues, big issues, daily life, things that interest me, things that confuse me, and Bible verses.
Good morning, everyone! Today I read Luke 23-24. In today's reading, Jesus is accused, crucified, and buried. Then He rose again and showed Himself to His disciples before ascending to Heaven. We have learned about this previously in the other gospels, and while trying to figure out what to say about today's reading, a song kept coming to my mind. So, whether you've heard this song or not, I hope you enjoy it, and that it speaks to you today. I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read John 1-2.
Good afternoon, everyone! Today I read Hosea 1-7. Hosea is God's chosen prophet, and God instructs him to marry a harlot, so that he can better understand how God feels about Israel cheating on Him with other gods. Hosea obeys, and they have children. God instructs Hosea to name them specific names that show God's displeasure with His people. To better understand the book of Hosea, I recommend a movie. That's right. A movie. In Amazing Love, a confrontation in a youth group leads to a youth retreat in the mountains where the youth leader shares the story of Hosea. Through this story, we learn the greatness of God's love, the depth of His sorrow, and the wonder of His forgiveness. If you want to understand how God feels when we turn from Him, read the book of Hosea. And check out this movie. It tells the story in more modern terms. I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Hosea 8-14.
