God is Working on You
“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten.”
Joel 2:25

Ponder This
Hosea had a wife whose name was Gomer. She not only committed immorality, but she finally ended up as a prostitute on the street.
In the strength of the Lord, Hosea went to her, reclaimed her, forgave her, remarried her, and restored her as his bride. What a picture of the restoration of our Lord with us!
God has promised to restore all the pains of our past, the heartaches from broken relationships, the struggles from defeat, and the frustrations of our lives. All the times we felt broken beyond repair, God has promised to restore.
God is in the business of restoring His children into beautiful works of His holiness.
Practice This
You can find this story in the book of Hosea. Is there someone in your life who has wandered from the faith and felt the abandonment of friends and family? If so, go to that person today and encourage him or her in the love of Jesus.
FOR YOUR GIFT TO THE MINISTRY
Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
