Here is the word of the Lord in the book of Hosea 14:1-9
Return, O Israel (Christian) to the Lord your God. Yours sins have been your downfall (problems, tragedy, pains, sorrows etc).Take words with you (pray fervently) and return to the Lord (repent). Say to him “forgive all our sins and receive us graciously. That we may offer the fruits of our lips (worships, praises, exaltation etc).
Assyria cannot save us (our knowledge cannot help us) we will not mount war-horses (we will not pretend to ourselves). We will never again say “Our gods to what our own hands have made. (We will not adore worthless things).for in you the fatherless find compassion.(for in Christ we find hope, healing ,peace ,salvation etc)
Then the Lord Almighty says to us “I will heal their waywardness and love them freely, for my anger has turned away from them, I will be like the dew (light) to Israel (Christian).He( Christian) will blossom (prosper ) like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon, his young shoots will grow (increase).His splendor will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon. Men will dwell again in his shade, He will flourish like the corn He will blossom like a vine and his fane will be like the wine from Lebanon.
O Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols? I will answer him and care for him. I am like a green pine tree, your fruitfulness comes from me, says the Lord Almighty.
Who is wise? He will realize these things, who is discerning? He will understand them.
The ways of the Lord are right, the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.
God bless you….
