Day Three

Hosea 4-6; Psalm 127; Proverbs 29:15-17

Something special happens on the third day.

Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. – Hosea 6:1-2

On the third day, the LORD restores His people so that they can live in His presence. What’s that mean? Hmmm, let’s see. What day was it that Jesus Christ was raised from the grave? Oh, yeah. The third day. On the third day, Jesus—who had been torn to pieces and injured and killed for our sins—was healed and His wounds were gone. He was revived and restored, and in His resurrection we are also revived and restored to live forever in the presence of God.

Thank You, Father!

Can anyone share a testimony about how the truth of Jesus’ resurrection led you to do as the first verse urges and “return to the LORD”?
