Day 29: The Call of God's Wild Love

Read: Song of Songs 2:10; Hosea 2:14

Song of Songs 2 | NIV Bible | YouVersion

Hosea 2 | NIV Bible | YouVersion


There is a desert of testing, such as Jesus faced, when He went into the wilderness for 40 days and was tempted.  But there is also a desert of communion.  John the Baptist was made into the man he was from his time in the desert, spent alone in communion with God.

God may call us to come away with Him into the desert of communion.  There we can find strength, a place to commune with God free from distraction.  No friends, no things to get in between you and God.  Nothing that takes up too much room in your heart.  The desert has a way of narrowing our desires to a single laser focus—more of God.  We recognize our utter helplessness without Him.  We cannot survive without Him.

God loves you so much.  He longs to restore the intimacy with you that He originally intended at creation.  Do you hear His siren call, wooing you to come away with Him, to bask in His presence, to go deep with Him?
