Good day to you, and welcome!


"And it shall be in that day," says the Lord, “that you will call Me ‘my Husband’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master.’” (Hosea 2:16 NKJV)

God has betrothed us to Himself in righteousness, justice, lovingkindness, faithfulness, and mercy. (Hosea 2:19, 20) We have a destiny as the Bride of Christ. God wants us to know Him intimately.

We must seek Him and pursue Him. (See 8-13 posting titled His Mighty Wonders) We must spend time with Him and hear, as well as listen for, His voice.

The Scriptures tell us that God is a jealous God. He yearns for us jealously. (Exodus 20:5; James 4:5) The Lord doesn’t want us setting up idols in our lives. (pretender gods) He wants our worship for Himself, alone. (Exodus 3:14)

He desires our focus and attention, our trust and faithfulness. He says, "Oh taste and see that I am good; you are blessed when you trust in Me." (Psalm 34:8)
