'...let us press on to know the LORD;
his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us as the showers,
as the spring rains that water the earth.”
(Hosea 6:3 ESV)

(Hosea 6:3 ESV)
Sometimes in life it must be said that things just don't make sense. My (very wise) Mum has taught me (whether or not she realises) that when you find yourself in that position, or when things are hard or your plans fall apart, that this is what you do. You don't focus on what you don't know, or how things may not make sense, or the 'why?' in your situation. You focus on what you do know. And this verse tells me two things...
1 - God is faithful. As the sun rises every day and sets every night, God will hold true to His promises. That He has good things planned for us. That He loves us and will never abandon us. And that He can use everything for good.
2 - God will replenish, restore and rejuvenate (and any other words starting with an 'r') us every day.
'Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face.
And the things of earth, will grow strangely dim,
in the light of His glorious face'
