“You shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.” Deuteronomy 8:2
The Wilderness…
So vast and so many unknowns.
It’s a place no one wants to enter, and yet it’s a place the Lord has or will eventually call us into.
A place of trials.
A place of suffering.
A place of questioning.
And sometimes even a place of wandering.
When we look down the path that leads into the wilderness, its whispers of uncertainty can be frightening and almost deafening.
What lies ahead? What will I encounter? Will I be able to adapt? Will I be able to survive? How long will I be here?
If today you find yourself staring at a vast unknown, I understand not wanting to enter.
And, if you’re already in the wilderness, I understand wanting to escape it.
But consider this: if we didn’t ask to enter the wilderness and weren’t actively seeking it out, how did we end up here? By coincidence? By accident?
