Today's verse is Hosea 6:6 with Amanda Idleman.
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.
"God is asking us to have a big faith - He's not looking for us to just follow all the rules of religion with no acknowledgement of the powerful one true God that loves us and created us. We need to live with the trust that He is able to do abundantly more than we think, ask, or imagine."
