Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.
Hosea 6:3
Despite the way that situation appears to be, no matter how daunting the task at hand may be, Hosea reminds us that we must acknowledge the Lord… This acknowledgment must take place before His presence is even felt… The real conflict that arises in the lives of the believers is acknowledging the power and authority of God in and over situations before His faithfulness is displayed and you are delivered… The message for today is pressing us to give God praise, honor, and reverence as the storm approaches. Being able to give God the highest respect and admiration while the storm looms overhead instead of waiting until the rainbow is completely visible and recognized is the call we are to accept… Too often we conceal our love for God until His love and compassion are shown and today we are challenged to do the opposite… You must acknowledge the Lord instead of acknowledging your current predicament, hardship, or obstacle… In walking by faith, you tell the storm how big your God is while knowing that as surely as the sun rises, He will appear; he will come to us like winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth… God will show up and show out, He will complete the work that He has begun in you and you will see and feel His power in and through your life… Give Him praise for the outcome and stop focusing on your present condition… If you focus on the things happening around you and all the chaos in this world, you soon realize how difficult it is to acknowledge the Lord… Stay focused on Him and watch how everything else will fall into place.
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
