Moments of Miracles
Hosea 6:1-3
Come, and let us return to the Lord; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will [a]bind us up.2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. 3 Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
