The Rodent Gold Standard

Reading Hosea and it's sooooo POWERFUL! It got me excited because of the parallelism in Hosea's relationship with his wife and God with His people! Great reminder that when we exercise our free will of turning away from what God deemed good and righteous, He falls through with letting us experience the consequences not because He does not love us, but to test our character and to show His glory when He redeems us and restores us back to Him! This is how He shows that He is just. And He showed us His love, that though we have turned away from Him, committed idolatry and adultery against Him, He sent us Jesus so that we may be restored and become one with Him again. To keep His covenant with His bridegroom--His people. Return to your first love! Return to Him who first loved you! #theword #hosea #gospel #hefirstlovedus #devotional #bible #christiansofinstagram #christiansofig #praise #hallelujah #jesus #jesusmovement

2017 was a year of breakthrough on a lot of things and God has left me even more hungry for Him and His Presence. When 2018 came, I was sure that I wanted an even more intimate relationship with the Lord because I'm just so grateful for all the things that He has done in my life! Along with the usual goal setting and planning for the coming year, it was in my heart that I start praying not just for me and my family but just pray and soak in communion with the Lord. The desire to intercede for people who do not know how to pray or need prayers just sprung even though it has always been my 'weakness' being at a loss for words when asked to pray out loud. But in Him, I find strength, in Him I am made perfect, that though I still get tongue-tied in intercession, I have faith that my prayers are heard and that anything I am unable to pray for, the Holy Spirit in me is already praying on my behalf. With that, I am opening the line... If you need any prayers, whatsoever, just send them my way and I will intercede, not by my own might or my own power but by the power of the Holy Spirit!

All of us fall short of the glory of God. We can never measure up to His standards. And yet by His lovingkindness and mercy and His persistence to restore our relationship with Him, He gave us His One and Only Son to pay for our sins on our behalf. In our human mind, think of how gruesome that would have been for the Father to let His Son die for the sake of others... Can you see the magnitude of that? I can't even imagine going through with it. But that's how God's immense love for us is. He knew that we can only be restored to Him if we were made righteous and that we can't ever be made righteous by ourselves! Our righteousness comes from Christ who died for our sake... And when we're IN Christ, we are one with God. Jesus did not come to break the law. He came to fulfill it and only through him will we be saved. All that's left for us to do, really, is to trust. Trust that God loves us and that Jesus came restore us back to God. #jesusmovement #jesusfollower #jesuschrist #gospel #christian #versefortoday #bibleverse #christisenough #christianreminder #devotional #verse #bible #calledbyjesus #calledtocreate #commissioned #thegreatcommission #disciples #discipleship #spiritled #holyspirit #god #christianmusings #christianmantras #christiancreative #thewaythetruththelife #truth #faith #godisfaithful #jesussaves #jesusislord

Whatever you do, do it FOR Him, THROUGH Him, and IN Him. Be an ambassador for Him. Be led by the Spirit.
