Hosea 2
God makes all things new!
He creates a new relationship, v14-15. He will allure you taking the initiative, moving towards you. He will give back to you your fruitfulness. He will open the door of hope to you and cause you to sing again.
He announces a new relationship, v16-17. I am no longer ‘master’ but ‘husband’. It’s an alongside name. Not top down but walking side by side.
He announces a new covenant, v18-20. Coming to you in your circumstances is righteousness and justice, love and compassion and of course He is ever-faithful.
He will produce a new harvest, v21-23. There will be a time of productivity, of you seeing fruit for your labour and the prayers answered. Above all there will be a new you! The Message translates verse 23 like this:
“I’ll say to Nobody, ‘You’re my dear Somebody,’
How incredible is that?!
And we will all say …
“You’re my God!’”
