Truth That Cuts and Healing That Restores
Today’s readings confront us with two powerful realities. Amos doesn’t hold back—he speaks truth that cuts deep, calling out injustice, cruelty, and hypocrisy among God’s people and their neighbors. It’s uncomfortable, but necessary. Sometimes the hardest words bring the clearest wake-up calls.
In Mark, we see Jesus stepping beyond boundaries—engaging with outsiders and bringing healing in unexpected places. His miracles aren’t just physical restorations; they reveal a deeper restoration of hope, connection, and belonging.
These passages challenge us to ask: Are we honest about where we fall short? And are we open to the healing grace Jesus offers, even when it comes in surprising ways?
Today, be ready for both conviction and comfort. Let God’s truth shape you, and His healing renew you.
Where might you need to face hard truths? Where is Jesus inviting you into new life?

About this Plan
This 16th installment of our Reading with the People of God plan invites you into the voices of the Minor Prophets—Hosea through Nahum—calling God’s people to return with sincerity and trust. Paired with the Gospel of Mark, we’ll hear Christ’s invitation to repentance and renewed faith. Each day includes readings from Psalms, the Old Testament, and the New Testament, with a brief devotional primer. May these readings draw you nearer to the Lord, awaken your heart to His mercy, and echo His faithful call: “Return to Me.”
