Finding Solace in LonelinessSample

The desert will bloom!

“Therefore, behold, I will allure her, will bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfort to her.” (Hosea 2:14)

The dictionary definition of the word “desert” is a barren place, ill-suited for life. Seen from this angle, the desert is not very appealing. And yet, God’s creation is full of beautiful surprises and rich with teachings.

When the ideal weather conditions come together, like rain, high temperatures, and humidity, the desert flourishes.

Are you going through the dry, scorching wind of the desert right now?

Is your desert loneliness or solitude?

This desert will not be your tomb. It will not bury you. You will not die in the desert...you will live. Yes, you will live and declare the works of the Lord! (See Psalm 118:17.)

By faith, rise up with strength and declare: “God—oh God of my deliverance! God, who gives me the victory, You are the One in whom I believe!”

Feel the latter rain (see Joel 2:23) on your face, receive His life inside of you. Rise up and see...the desert is flourishing!

Thanks for existing!
