Finding Hope in Hosea: A Verse for Easter Monday

Happy Easter Monday!

Here’s your verse of the week — and fair warning, I’m pulling it a little out of context. Well, maybe a lot. Hosea wrote these words to Israel during a dark season of judgment, calling them back to God with a promise of restoration. We’re not ancient Israel, but that promise still rings true for us, and it hits even harder the day after Easter.

With that out of the way, here is our ‘verse of the week.’

Hosea 6:2–3 (NIV) … on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. ³ 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.”

The third day. Restoration. Living in His presence. He will appear!

Whatever doubts or struggles you’re carrying into this week, press on. He’s coming.

Be encouraged,

Dan
