REALIZE
Today's reading: Hosea 1-3

"She doesn't realize that it was I who gave her everything she has--the grain, the wine, the olive oil. Even the gold and silver she used in worshiping the god Baal were gifts from me!" Hosea 2:8 NLT

Realize-to bring into concrete existence; to be made fully aware of.

(This will be short, as I have an assignment for you.)

The end of the year brings with it the need to evaluate what has happened and anticipate what we hope to happen.

How appropriate that the word 'realize' does pretty much the same thing!

To realize means to pull back assumptions, to put away the best intentions, to come face-to-face with what is true.

So here is your assignment, if you choose to accept it:

Close your computer. Turn off the noise. Sit with God long enough to realize.
