Scripture:
Hosea 6:3 “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.”The people express a desire to pursue knowledge of the Lord, describing His coming with images of dawn and rain.
The people express a desire to pursue knowledge of the Lord, describing His coming with images of dawn and rain. Knowing about God and learning to walk with Him are connected, but a familiar religious phrase does not finish the work of relationship. Hosea 6:3 voices a desire to know the Lord. The surrounding chapter also challenges love that fades quickly. Together, these verses invite a response that lasts beyond an emotional moment.
Perhaps you have a question you have been afraid to ask. Perhaps a passage feels unfamiliar. Bring that curiosity into your devotional life. Read a whole paragraph around today’s verse. Ask what it shows about God and what it asks of His people. Speak with a thoughtful pastor or mature believer when you need help understanding.
You do not have to understand everything before you begin. Stay teachable, return to Scripture, and practice the truth you learn. A sincere question can open a meaningful conversation with God and with the people who help you grow.
