Opening Prayer: Almighty God, thank you for making it possible for me to find the truth of the kingdom. Grant that as I spend time in your Word today, I will become more in tune with your kingdom. Amen.

Read: Hosea 2
Reflect: What have God’s people done against His wishes? How is God going to react to His people? How does this relate to the story of Hosea and Gomer?

Prayer: for the church, for others, and for myself

Hymn: “Savior, like a Shepherd Lead Us”
Savior, like a shepherd lead us;
Much we need Thy tender care.
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us;
For our use Thy folds prepare.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us; Thine we are.

We are Thine; do Thou befriend us;
Be the Guardian of our way.
Keep Thy flock; from sin defend us;
Seek us when we go astray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Hear, O hear us when we pray.

Thou hast promised to receive us,;
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou has mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse, and power to free.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Early let us turn to Thee.

Early let us seek Thy favor;
Early let us do Thy will.
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our beings fill.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast loved us; love us still.

Closing Prayer: To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen ~Jude 25
