The wilderness
Inspiration

The journey through the wilderness is a time of learning to depend on God for all things. Not all journeys through the wilderness will be times of hardship and difficult decisions. Some will have a lasting impact and some will have an eternal outcome.

This devotional will help the believer learn valuable lessons and opportunities such as:

  • Discover how great heroes of the Bible made it through their wilderness journey to become better equipped to handle the next journey.
  • Come to an understanding of how the wilderness can be a great benefit of the Christian walk.
  • See how a wilderness experience shouldn’t be a permanent residency but a stepping stone to a better country.

Our minds think of a wilderness as a difficult place to journey. At times, it can be that way, but it doesn’t have to be. We find in many places in scripture that the wilderness brings more good than it does bad. We should never try to bypass the wilderness just because it may be difficult. If following God’s plan leads through the wilderness, we need to chase after God’s leading without hesitation. Every step we take following God’s road map for our lives will not be easy, but it will be worth it.
