Hoseya 11:4

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.

We often memorize verses about God’s love, but that does not always mean we have truly experienced it. The world defines love through feelings, disappointments, and temporary relationships. But the Bible introduces a different kind of love, one that chooses, never runs out, and keeps drawing us back. Through this devotional, we will see something deeper. Our greatest need is not information, success, or achievement, but love. This love is not just an idea, it is made real through Jesus Christ. Over these five days, may we not only understand His love, but truly experience it personally.

With transparency, humor, heart-tugging storytelling, and more than a little personal confession, Martin shows us that no matter where we live or how much we have, as we learn what it is to be with people as Jesus was, we'll find our very lives.
