Hosea 11:5-7

This devotional reading plan connects timeless works of art with Scripture to explore themes of longing, redemption, and divine love. Through daily reflections on art and passages like 2 Corinthians 5 and Luke 15, participants are encouraged to deepen their spiritual understanding of God’s promises and presence. By examining art’s portrayal of human experience alongside the Bible’s truths, the plan invites readers to consider their yearnings and find fulfillment in God’s eternal design and compassionate heart.

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.

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.
