Hosea 6:3
He will come to us like the … spring rain
that waters the earth.
I tend the
small plot of garden in front of our home and as I water the plants twice a day
through spring and summer, the flower bed became healthy and fruitful. The
blooms burst out in a display of beautiful flowers. As for the plants, the
green leaves were lush and cover the whole garden.
However when
I went away for a short time and the garden lacked attention and watering, the
plants withered and became weak but when I resumed the tender care for it, all
the plants revived and rejuvenated.
This is so
refreshing, it is the same with fellow shipping with our God, as we worship Him
on a daily basis and as we draw close to Him in prayer and studying of His
word, then we are refreshed and we will be spiritually health. Many may be
physically healthy but when we don’t draw near to God and drink from the
spiritual spring then our spiritual life would be dry.
This is how
Hosea expressed the spiritual dryness in our lives, the further we are away
from the source of spiritual water, the more parched we will be and we will
also wither in our spiritual lives just like the plants. We need to constantly
and daily drink from His well.
In turn God
is faithful and He will give us His grace as we draw near to Him and meditate
upon His word. Let us remain constant and faithful to maintaining our
relationship with our God.
