Day 270: Hosea 11-14; Joel 1; Psalm 99

Lord, our God, it almost seems as though You can't help Yourself in loving Your wayward children (Hosea 11:8). You are Love. It is Who You Are. Help us never to take that for granted. For though You love and You are merciful, You are also holy and righteous and pure (Psalm 99:5,9). Help us be discerning and wise, walking in Your ways that are right[eous], for there we will live in Your love and enjoy life that lasts forever (Hosea 14:9).
