Under His Shadow

Misguiding Shadows

Shadows
Mislead
Unless
One is
Under
His shadow

His shadow
His people
Will grow
Will bloom
Will rejoice

Return to
His shadow
With words
Or repentance
His forgiveness 
Always abounds

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.”

Prayer
Our Heavenly Father, please guide us back under your shadow, forgive all our sins and receive us graciously. 

Only you can save us from shadowing misguidance. Your compassion will reach us. Save us. 

Help us to grow in your precepts. Bloom your goodness in us. Then other can see the reason for our joy. 

I ask these things in Jesus everlasting name.

Further reading Hosea 14:1-8
Repentance to Bring Blessing
14 Return, Israel, to the Lord your God.
Your sins have been your downfall!
2 Take words with you
and return to the Lord.
Say to him:
“Forgive all our sins
and receive us graciously,
that we may offer the fruit of our lips.
3 Assyria cannot save us;
we will not mount warhorses.
We will never again say ‘Our gods’
to what our own hands have made,
for in you the fatherless find compassion.
4 “I will heal their waywardness
and love them freely,
for my anger has turned away from them.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel;
he will blossom like a lily.
Like a cedar of Lebanon
he will send down his roots;
6 his young shoots will grow.
His splendor will be like an olive tree,
his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.
7 People will dwell again in his shade;
they will flourish like the grain,
they will blossom like the vine—
Israel’s fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.
8 Ephraim, what more have I to do with idols?
I will answer him and care for him.
I am like a flourishing juniper;
your fruitfulness comes from me.”
