Book of Joel bible study
Here is the prophecy of Joel, a book of three chapters but a powerful one likely coming after Israel was carried captive but before Judah was, according to commentary. It speaks of the judgment of God on the land but also gives hope too, but warns against the day of the Lord as well. The book also encourages people to repent and prepare their hearts and promises an outpouring of the spirit and even end times prophecies like the blood moon and other signs with the sun, moon and stars which would again be prophesied by Jesus and in the book of Revelation.
In Joel chapter 1 the plague of locusts is spoken which devours all and mourning is encouraged because of the locust plague, and warns prophetically that the day of the Lord is near

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for allowing me to have children and grandchildren. Lord, help me to be the proper kind of parent who loves her children enough to discipline them. Forgive me when I have failed my children. Help me to be patient, loving, and kind in all disciplinary acts. Lord, I pray for the parents and grandparents of this generation that they may have wisdom, love and guidance in all of their relationships with their children and grandchildren. Lord, give our children a submissive heart and spirit toward authority so that our society can function in peace and order. May we all have the fear of the Lord in our lives which causes us to respect all authority that God has ordained. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Book of Hosea bible study
Hosea, the first of the minor prophets was given a duty to sternly rebuke Israel for falling away from God, her (and our) creator in idolatry and other wickedness, pronouncing the judgments to come against her in places but most of all encouraging her repentance and return to God. Mercy is promised towards Judah. From commentaries this was written before either kingdom was exiled but mainly done to encourage and exhort repentance, as stated above
In chapter 1 of Hosea, Hosea is told to take a wife of whoredom and have children whom God names and then used to prophecy judgment against Israel for her evils but mercy is promised towards Judah
(Hosea 1:1) The word of the LORD that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

IT'S WHO YOU KNOW
John 9:30 "The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes."
JOHN 9:28-30
The "acid test" of whether or not someone is of God is by his actions. Jesus' actions were so miraculous and overwhelmingly consistent with God's Word that any reservations about whether or not He was of God should have...
Lord you rescue the poor who call on you. You are there refuge in the shadow of Your wings. You are all seeing and all hearing. We thank you for this new day and being our inspiration when we wake. You are the light that burns within. In Jesus name. Amen.

LOVE CONQUERS FEAR
John 9:27 "He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?"
JOHN 9:6-27
This man showed great courage in confronting these religious leaders. Even Peter later backed down for fear of this same group of men (Lk. 22:54-62). Certainly one thing that gave him this boldness was that he knew what Jesus had...
