The Bible in a Year – Day 175 – Knowledge of God

Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of knowing God and knowing his love for us as we read about the devastation of war and the lack of faith displayed by Israel. Without a deeper knowledge of God, not only can we struggle for hope in God’s plan, but we can also fall into the temptation of losing faith in him altogether. Today’s readings are 2 Kings 6-7, Hosea 4-7, and Psalm 103.

As we continue to journey through our readings, we will begin to see the words of the prophets come to fruition as those who return to the Lord in faith will experience his undying love and forgiveness, despite their unfaithfulness. Today’s readings are 2 Kings 9, Hosea 11-14, and Psalm 109.
