God’s relationship with the nation of Israel is a love story spanning centuries. In this 5-day plan, we’ll explore a rocky time between God and his chosen people and see how the prophet Hosea’s warnings for the nation remain relevant for us today.

In general, people have good feelings about Jesus. But when it comes to God the Father, many are afraid of or angry with Him. Jesus has gone to the Father to prepare a place for us, so if we are not comfortable with the Father, we may not want to go to heaven. I propose that you discover God the Father through Jesus.

God loves Israel. You can find proof throughout the entire Bible. He chose Israel and set them apart to be His own people. The Bible uses various metaphors to describe this love: God calls Israel His firstborn son, and through the prophets, He also calls Israel His bride. In this reading plan, we invite you to join us as we dive deeper into God’s love for Israel.

“God loves us and will search for us when we are relationally lost from Him. When we return to God’s love, all heaven rejoices. We are found, forgiven and loved. That is redemption.” (The Redemption Story – Kath Henry). If you feel far from God, meditate on these devotions and let them open your heart to God’s saving grace and His heart for the lost.

The greatest call for Christian moms is to know God and help others know Him, too. The readings in this 8-day plan are selected from the NIV Mom's Devotional Bible, offering encouragement and a wise perspective as you seek to grow in the area of patience and godly character.

God used Hosea to powerfully communicate His anguish towards the nation of Israel due to their continued idol worship. Hosea’s life and ministry show both the heart-breaking cost of idolatry as well as the lengths to which God will go to redeem His sinful people back to Him. This book reminds us that despite our sinful idolatry, God is always faithful.

We often associate the word stewardship with money. While it’s true that we’re called to be good stewards of our finances, stewardship certainly doesn’t end with our bank accounts. In this plan, you’ll be challenged to consider the connection between stewardship and commitment, and you’ll be inspired to elevate your relationship with God to the top of your priority list. Each day’s reading includes a brief Scripture passage and relevant devotional.
