S: “Their arrogance testifies against them, yet they don’t return to the LORD their God or even try to find him.” Hosea 7:10 NLT
“They do not cry out to me with sincere hearts. Instead, they sit on their couches and wail. They cut themselves, begging foreign gods for grain and new wine, and they turn away from me.” Hosea 7:14 NLT
O/A: On this journey of discovering the new me, the old me is not only calling for me, it's trying show me how great being comfortable in the old me is. It's trying to make arrogance look appeasing and makes giving up easy. The old me had no control. No limit. I said whatever I wanted to say, to whoever I wanted to say it to. I secretly dos what I wanted while pretending to follow the rules. I've always done enough to survive. My old me wants to keep me down by testifying against me. Oh, but unlike Israel, I will return to the Lord my God and never stop searching for him and his command.
P: Lord I come before you with open hands waiting on you. I won't back down from living for you and your truth. I will cry out with a sincere heart, renew a steadfast spirit within me. Show me your way back to you when ever the old me comes. I will pray through and fight through praise. No longer will I slug around wailing and whining about my daily activities. I look to you oh Heavenly Father and turn to your will. It will be a challenge in those times I will need your strength. I will #praythrough in Jesus name!
