16 Christmas Promises for a Grieving Mom, Hosea 6:1-3 | Day 16 - a podcast by Ashlee Proffitt

CHRISTMAS PROMISES DAY SIXTEEN

“Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”    Hosea 6:1-3

Amidst sorrow and loss and brokenness it is difficult to see God for who He is, as faithful, as healer, as redeemer. The call here is to "return" to Him that He may bring healing, that He may pick us up, that He might fix what has been broken. To trust Him with our sorrow. To run to Him in the pain. To stop demanding that this world fix that which only He can.

And right in the middle of these verses is this beautiful hope-filled reminder that God alone brings life where we there is only death: "He will revive us" and "He will raise us up." This reference certainly points us to Jesus and His dying in order to bring us life, to revive us and raise us up. "Because I live, you also will live." John 14:19
