I Will Allure

Let us muse today from Hosea  2: 14 and the manifestation of God’s love through the enactment of His last will and statement. The first I will statement is I will allure. The word allure means to entice, to woo, or draw away. What will he draw this bride into? He says he will allure her into the wilderness. The word means a place of being alone, desolate, and a place of great testing and temptation. Our Lord often arranges these situation in our life to bring us to a place of crying out to Him with our undivided attention. I love what he says next. Once she is in the wilderness the Lord speaks comfortably to her. The word means to speak with all the deep feelings of the heart. Once He has allured her into this desolate place He shares with her His heart. Is that not just like our God? I am so glad I am a part of His last will and testament. My, what an inheritance.
