Hosea 12:6 So You, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, and wait on your God continually.
The Israelites were being told to return to the Lord where He had met them. How many times do we take time to think about where the Lord met us? This is a very encouraging event to reflect on.
Observe mercy and justice. These two character traits of God are constantly at work in our lives. Do we observe them in our lives? Do we have them in our own character traits?
Wait on God continually. The Word of God talks much about waiting on Him. This requires trust and patience. He will work these thing out in our lives, if we wait on Him. He cares for us and loves us, yet we don't trust Him enough to wait on Him. Let's ask God to grow us in this area!
Remember, the verse says, "by the help of your God." We're not in this alone and can't do anything without His help!!
Dear Lord, I pray that You would grow and stretch us. Please teach us to wait on You and through that increase our faith. Help us observe mercy and justice. May we remember often where You met us Lord! In Jesus Name Amen.
