Scripture: Hosea 13:4-6
“Yet I have been the
Lord your God ever since the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and besides
me there is no savior.
It was I who fed you in
the wilderness, in the land of drought. When I fed them, they were satisfied;
they were satisfied, and their heart was proud; therefore they forgot me.”
In
the Book of Exodus, when God brings the Israelites out of slavery they wander
in the wilderness for a long time.
During this wilderness period the people often forget God. They would grumble and complain and God would
provide for them. But then once their
hearts were satisfied they would forget all that God had done for them. They would forget that they were set free
from their slavery. They would forget
that they received food and water—their very life—from God. As the Prophet Hosea tells us in our
scripture for today they would be satisfied and their hearts would be proud and
they would forget God.
Think
of a time you were prideful. Ask God to
help you remember. Did you remember God in your pride? Did your pride separate you from God?
Consider
in what ways pride makes us forget God. In your prayers today ask God for
forgiveness from your pride. Ask God for
strength and courage to always remember God.
In our print prayer journals we have a space
for Notes, Ideas, Drawings, and Observations.
Feel free to keep your own journal.
