Week 90 Day 1: Rolled up Sealed ⇧ ⇩
Foreword
We continue to read the Book of Daniel this week. God’s hand never stops in His work in history, so Daniel saw victory in the vision. Although the glory is yet to come, evil will be replaced by the kingdom of righteousness eventually. Jesus had already brought the good news of healing, the renewing of the world, rebuilding the new age. It is not just a war against an enemy of flesh, but the destruction of evil who tempts us. Let us discipline ourselves to endeavor in the understanding of future, pick up the weapon of prayer, and do not be afraid. Because God is fighting for us and the victory is realized in His presence with us. May you all be renewed in God’s word every day!

- None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
Meditation: My Story

Week 90 Day 2: The Promiscuous Gomer ⇧ ⇩
Question
Why did Hosea marry a promiscuous woman named Gomer?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
- Hosea married a promiscuous woman named Gomer, and she conceived and bore him a son called Jezreel.
- Gomer conceived again and gave birth to a daughter named Lo-Ruhamah, for the Lord will no longer show love to Israel, that He should at all forgive them.
- Gomer had another son named Lo-Ammi, for Israelites are not God’s people, and He is not their God.
- Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, they will be called children of the living God.
- Israelites are punished for their worship of adultery.
- After the punishment, God would allure, comfort, and betroth her to Himself forever.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - God would betroth Israel to Himself forever, in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. She would acknowledge the Lord. His righteousness, justice, love, and compassion form the foundation of our knowledge in the Lord. Do I know Him?

Week 90 Day 3: The Promiscuous People ⇧ ⇩
Question
How did Israel commit sin?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
- Hosea showed his love to his wife again.
- Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the Lord their God.
- There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. Therefore, the land dries up and all who live in it waste away.
- People are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
- Prostitution, old wine and new wine take away their understanding. They are led astray and unfaithful to their God.
- Though you, Israel, commit adultery, do not let Judah become guilty.
- Judgment will come to Israel.
Meditation: My Story
- Identity - The Israelites are stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. However, the Lord would pasture them like lambs in a meadow. The Lord is our shepherd, only He can give us our true identity and true relationship with Him. Am I in the meadow like His lambs?

Week 90 Day 5: The Covenant Broken ⇧ ⇩
Question
How was Daniel different?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
- An eagle is over the house of the Lord because the people have broken the Lord’s covenant and rebelled against His law.
- With their silver and gold they make idols for themselves to their own destruction. Samaria, throw out your calf-idol! The Lord’s anger burns against them.
- Israel has forgotten their Maker and built palaces; But God will send fire on their cities that will consume their fortresses.
- Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people. They will not remain in the Lord’s land; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
Meditation: My Story
- Integrity - Israel has forgotten their Maker and built palaces; But God will send fire. Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. For things I build, do I lean on God or by my own effort?

Week 90 Day 6: The Withered Root ⇧ ⇩
Question
Ephraim is blighted for what reason?
Scripture Reading
Meditation: God’s Story
- Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit.
- Israel was a spreading vine; he brought forth fruit for himself. Their heart is deceitful. The Lord will demolish their altars and destroy their sacred stones.
- They make many promises, take false oaths and make agreements; therefore lawsuits spring up like poisonous weeds in a plowed field.
- Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.
Meditation: My Story
- Integrity - The Lord wants us to sow righteousness for ourselves so we may reap the fruit of unfailing love. It is now the time to seek the Lord. Am I treating others and myself with justice? Do I do everything by seeking the Lord?
