DAILY READINGS: Judges 16; Isaiah 35; 1 Corinthians 13
I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more
than burnt off erings. Hosea 6:6
No one image can describe the eff ect of knowing God and His wonderful
att ributes. Those who have trusted Him know His goodness
to be as refreshing as cool rain upon parched ground. Like the benefi
ts of knowing Him, dew and rain are not one time events, but
refresh again and again. Hosea invites others to know God, to enjoy
His redeeming love and abundant grace, that they too, might be
revived to fruitfulness, experience spiritual growth, and know the
beauty and fragrance of Christ’s presence. Are you spiritually refreshed?

Come thou fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, calls for songs of loudest praise.—R. R.
