”But I will have compassion on the house of Judah, and I will deliver them by the Lord their God. I will not deliver them by bow, sword, or war, or by horses and cavalry.“
Hosea 1:7 CSB

What really stood out to me was how God acts to save his people: by His strength, by His power, by his own way. It is not through “normal” means or methods. It is not by Judah’s strengths or abilities or even intelligent strategies…but by His own hand.
God has blessed me with a strong intellect, creativity and persistence…but they have been a curse for me! It is so easy to depend on those gifts rather than God…
Lord, help me to rely on You ALONE! Help me to see when I am trusting in my own strength. Make it be a flashing neon sign so that I can recognize it, repent and run to you. God, what a blessing to rest in your care! Allow your peace to flow through my life and impact all of those around me for Your kingdom.
