Blossom Out of Shadow

[S] Hosea 14:7 --
Those who live in his shadow Will again raise grain, And they will blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

[O] I cannot avoid passing through the shadows of my life.  But God's promise of raising those in the shadow is very encouraging and refreshing.  Not only he will raise up but will produce much fruit out of such a shadow.

[A] Every time I feel like I'm in the dark, I want to turn to this verse to know that God will raise me up again.

[P] Dear Father, I want to grip that hope of salvation out of my dark moments.  Please continue to fill this heart with Your hope.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
