READ: Hosea 14:4-9, 1 Corinthians 1:25, James 3:17
SOAP: Hosea 14:9
Whoever is wise, let him understand these things;
whoever is discerning, let him know them;
for the ways of the Lord are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them. – Hosea 14:9
I want to be a wise woman. And I know that the only way of being wise is through knowing and living God´s Word every single day.
We have to wise and humble to see and accept our sins. And we have to be wise and humble to let God´s Word change our lives from the inside out. The book of Hosea gives us a great opportunity to repent from any hidden sin that may be in our hearts and to start living a godly life that pleases God starting today! “The foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men” (1 Corinthians 1:25). This verse changed my life forever when I realized that I was wise in my own understanding, that I was wise according to earthy standards but I had only knowledge about God´s Word and His will for my life. Sixteen years later, after attending Bible Institute and serving God as a missionary, I can tell you I´m not wise. But I try to be wiser every single day by applying God´s Word to my life.
Let´s be wise women today and see the book of Hosea as a reminder to confess our sins and make God the priority in our lives.
Heavenly Father, help me be a wise woman and walk securely in Your arms. Help me choose You always. Amen.
