Hosea 6:6 (NLT) — 6 I want you to show love, not offer sacrifices.

I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.

Hosea 6:6 (The Message) — 6 I’m after love that lasts, not more religion.

I want you to know God, not go to more prayer meetings.

Hosea 6:6 (NET) — 6 For I delight in faithfulness, not simply in sacrifice;

I delight in acknowledging God, not simply in whole burnt offerings.

 

     

Jeremiah 15:16 (NRSV) — 16 Your words were found, and I ate them,

and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart;

for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts.

Jeremiah 15:16 (The Message) — 16 When your words showed up, I ate them—

swallowed them whole. What a feast!

What delight I took in being yours, O God, God-of-the-Angel-Armies.

Jeremiah 15:16 (NAB) — 16 When I found your words, I devoured them;

they became my joy and the happiness of my heart,

Because I bore your name, O LORD, God of hosts.

 

When we surrender our heart to God -

our lives change!

Recall often that moment of first surrender

and build upon that foundation ...

devouring and delighting in His Word!
