Minor Prophets: Hosea, Gomer Redeemed

Minor Prophets: Hosea, Gomer Leaves
For Gomer this felt like total deprivation, and yet it was the very best thing for her, as Hosea wooed her back to himself. Allowing God to allure me, when I sense I am in the wilderness, letting Him speak tenderly to me, allowing this time alone with God to be enough makes these wilderness times turning points in my life.

Table of Nations: Japheth and Shem
Last week, I covered the migration of Ham's descendents across the Middle East and through to the continents of Africa to the west and south. This week I'll follow Japheth into Eurasia, over the top of the world and across to the other side of the globe, the Americas. Shem will settle largely in the Levant.
Grace and Peace, Joanne
