Desert!!
Think on that word for a minute or two.
Maybe you think of this word in the verb sense;
Maybe you’ve felt (Deserted) at sometime in your life.
Maybe you’ve been through some (deserts) in your life time….
Much of the Bible was either written or lived in, regions of the world that exemplify the noun word for, (desert). Think about that for a minute.
Have you ever experienced a dry season in your faith, your finances, your marriage, your family, or your work?
Maybe it feels like more than a season. Maybe you feel like you’re living in a dry region.
Maybe you feel (deserted), but be encouraged.. Our God is the God who chose to speak His words of life from the (desert).
Need more proof? Where were the Israelites set free from? captivity…. A (desert) land.
Where was Moses when God, through a burning bush, called him to lead His people out of Egypt? That Holy ground was also dry ground. (desert).
Where did God’s people learn to trust Him for daily food, water, and direction? The wilderness. ( desert)
Where was Elijah when God sent birds to feed him? You guessed it, dry land…..(desert)..
Where did David earnestly seek God? In a dry and weary land. (desert)..
Where was Jesus right before He announced His ministry to Earth? The (desert).
Do you think God would (desert) (verb sense) His people at the moments when they need Him the most?
Well…. it all depend on what (Desert) you’re talking about the verb or the noun……
So, we see He’s clear about that.
As for the (verb), no, God will never leave us nor forsake us. (Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you) Deuteronomy 31:6 & Heb 13:5
As for the (noun), yes!! Oh, yes!! God definitely will allow His people to go through dry seasons as well as regions.
The (desert) season in your life always reveals God as a trainer, our trainer….Trust me He is the trainer you want when you are going through (Dessert) times, storms, or whatever you choose to call them – because He remains compassionate, patient, loving and merciful all while He’s prunning you.
(Dessert) times or seasons both teaches us to keep on and don’t quit with or without rain, and to draw closer to Him as your rain maker….
Just know He’s right there with you….. encouraging you, and routing for you, and teaching you to dig deeper in Him, and as you rely on and meditate on that everlasting water Jesus talked about at the well…..That water that never leaves us thirsting again. (John 4:13) He will give you power (Eph 3:16-19)
Father God, forgive me and help my thinking, knowing You will never (desert) me. Teach me Father how to keep my eyes on You no matter the reason, while relying on You for all my needs. Amen
Be Blessed…..
