TODAY’S MEDITATION – To those who receive the Lord’s message, there is a difference between life and death (Hosea 14:9)

Today’s passage says this: Whoever is [spiritually] wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is [spiritually] discerning and understanding, let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, And the righteous will walk in them,But transgressors will stumble and fall in them.

My brother, my sister, Hosea was appealing to the people of God to listen, learn and benefit from the Word of God. He says that, those who receive the Lord’s message, there is a difference between life and death. Which one do you choose?

My friend, you can decide to either listen to what is written in the Scriptures and follow God’s ways or refuse to walk along the Lord’s path. You see, God does not force any of us. Yet and still, those who insist on following their own direction without God’s guidance are in “total darkness” and “have no idea what they are stumbling over” (Proverbs 4:19). If you are lost, hesitant or lack strength, you can find the way, become confident and be strengthed only by turning from your own ways to God’s ways. Jesus has already done the hard work for us on the Cross: all we need to do is to decide to follow God with all our heart, all our mind, all our soul. Stay blessed in Jesus’ name.
