Psalm 36 - August 18, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Psalm 36, where David shows us two realities: the sinful man and the saved man. The sinful heart listens to rebellion, flatters itself, speaks deceit, and eventually plots what it once would have feared. Sin does not begin with the hands; it begins when rebellion is given authority in the heart. But Psalm 36 also lifts our eyes to the steadfast love, faithfulness, righteousness, and justice of God. In Him is the fountain of life, and in His light we see light. So today, read Psalm 36 and ask the Lord to silence every voice of rebellion, draw you under the shadow of His wings, and satisfy your soul with the river of His delight.

1 John 1 - August 17, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading begins a new journey in 1 John 1, where John calls the church back to the real Christ. Jesus is not merely a good teacher, a spiritual idea, or a distant divine figure—He is fully God and fully man, the eternal Word of life who was heard, seen, and touched. John writes so the church will not be deceived by false teachers, but will know the truth and enter real fellowship with the Father and the Son. 1 John 1 reminds us that God is light, and there is no darkness in Him at all. The life we live must match the faith we claim, not because we never stumble, but because true fellowship with Christ changes the direction of our walk. So today, read 1 John 1 and ask the Lord to bring you into the light: encounter the real Christ, acknowledge your sin, confess it freely, and trust the God who is faithful and just to forgive.

Psalm 103 - August 15, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Psalm 103, where David commands his own soul to bless the Lord and remember every benefit of His mercy. God forgives, heals, redeems, crowns, satisfies, and renews His people. This psalm calls us not to wait until we feel worshipful, but to remember who God is until worship rises again. Psalm 103 reminds us to remember His character, His forgiveness, His compassion, and His throne. Our lives are brief like grass, but His steadfast love is everlasting, and His throne is above every weakness, sin, sorrow, and fear. So today, read Psalm 103 and let your soul worship: bless the Lord, remember His mercy, and never forget what He has done.

Psalm 78 - August 14, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Psalm 78, a historical psalm that calls God’s people to remember and tell. It looks back over Israel’s past so the next generation will not forget the works of the Lord, but will set their hope in Him. The past is not just history—it is a warning, a witness, and a safeguard for the future. Psalm 78 reminds us to tell what God has done, remember His faithfulness, beware of a drifting heart, and trust the Shepherd He provides. Idolatry and forgetfulness always lead to devastating consequences, but God remains faithful even when His people fail. So today, read Psalm 78 and do something simple and powerful: remember what God has done, then tell the next generation.

Hosea 14 - August 13, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading brings us to Hosea 14, the final chapter of this powerful prophecy. Hosea began with an unfaithful bride, but it ends with a faithful God calling His people to return. Israel’s idols had betrayed them, their alliances had failed them, their strength had collapsed, and still the Lord speaks with mercy: come back, bring words of confession, renounce every false savior, and return to Me. Hosea 14 reminds us that God restores what sin has damaged. He heals, loves freely, refreshes like dew, makes His people fruitful again, and calls every hearer to choose the right path. So today, read Hosea 14 and take one more step toward holiness: return to the Lord, renounce every idol, and worship the God whose relentless love still brings wandering people home.

Hosea 13 - August 12, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Hosea 13, where every false refuge is left in ruins. Baal cannot save, wealth cannot save, kings cannot save, armies cannot save, and idols cannot save. Israel stands guilty because her sin has not only offended God—it has destroyed her from the inside out. Hosea 13 reminds us that prosperity can produce pride, pride can produce forgetfulness, and forgetfulness can lead us to fight against the very God who came to help us. Yet even here, we see the greater hope: Israel could not conquer death, but Christ would. So today, read Hosea 13 and remember the Lord—because there is no Savior besides Him.

Hosea 12 - August 11, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Hosea 12, where God refuses to let Israel hide behind their sacred heritage. They could speak of Jacob, Moses, Bethel, the prophets, and the Exodus—but inherited history was no substitute for present holiness. Israel carried Jacob’s name, but they had forgotten Jacob’s God. Hosea 12 reminds us that we cannot live off yesterday’s faithfulness, someone else’s obedience, or a family legacy of devotion. God is calling His people to return, remember His name, and stop mistaking prosperity for innocence. So today, read Hosea 12 and let it search your heart: do not hide behind your heritage—walk with God today and build a faithful one.

Hosea 11 - August 10, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Hosea 11, where we see the heart of a brokenhearted Father. Israel was determined to leave God, but God was unwilling to surrender Israel. He remembers loving His son, calling him out of Egypt, teaching him to walk, feeding him, carrying him, and drawing him with cords of kindness—yet Israel kept running from the hands that had held them. Hosea 11 reminds us that God is not a cold-hearted judge eager to punish; He is a grieving Father whose love is deeper than Israel’s rebellion. And this chapter points us to Jesus, the faithful Son who succeeds where Israel failed and bears judgment so wandering children can come home. So today, read Hosea 11 and remember: Israel persisted in rebellion, but God persisted in relentless love.

Hosea 10 - August 8, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Hosea 10, where Israel uses God’s prosperity to finance their idolatry. God planted the vine, watered it, and blessed it—but instead of giving the harvest back to Him, Israel used His gifts to build altars for false gods. Prosperity that does not become worship eventually becomes an idol. Hosea 10 reminds us that false gods always fail. Israel trusted kings, armies, golden calves, and fortified cities, but every lesser god was eventually carried away, exposed, or destroyed. So today, read Hosea 10 and ask the Lord to break up the fallow ground of your heart: do not waste His blessings, do not worship what can be carried away, and sow righteousness while there is still time.

Hosea 9 - August 7, 2026

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate Here Today’s reading takes us to Hosea 9, where judgment has arrived while Israel is still celebrating. They are rejoicing at their festivals, but Hosea interrupts the celebration with a funeral announcement. They are enjoying the gifts of God while giving credit to false gods, and the Lord declares that the land He gave them will no longer be theirs to enjoy. Hosea 9 reminds us that false celebration, rejected revelation, corrupted worship, and covenant rebellion all lead to exile. Israel became like the gods they worshiped, and their ability to recognize truth faded with their rebellion. So today, read Hosea 9 and ask the Lord to keep your heart tender: worship the true God, listen when He speaks, and become more like the One whose glory you behold.
