Picture: Bride (His vows)
Scripture: Hosea 2:19; Isaiah 54:4,10; Isaiah 62:5; 1 Corinthians 13:4-13
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Think of a wedding ceremony. See the groom making promises to his bride as he puts a ring on her finger to pledge a lifelong commitment. Much like this, but even better because of perfection, God vows His faithful love to His people. He loves His church! His promises to us are almost to good to be true, and yet they are ALL true and they will last forever. His Spirit now lives in us…His love lives IN US! He is 100% faithful and committed to this relationship. He promises to never leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5b).
Which promise in the above verses speaks to you the most right now? Why?
Aside from today’s verses, are there any other promises in the Bible that you cling to concerning God’s great love for you? Write them here.
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
One thing I have asked from the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and meditate in his temple. For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tent He will hide me. He will lift me on a rock. Psalm 27:4-5
Dear Lord,
As our hearts dwell on you, please open our eyes to your beauty, make us aware of your mercy, and cause us to rejoice in your protective care. May you be our one thing. In Jesus' Name, Amen
