Wilderness

Have you ever been lost, turned around to where you didn’t know which way to go?

My husband and I were hiking in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee several years ago. We miscalculated our journey and ended up hiking in the dark.

With only head lamp we stepped slowly down the dark mountain.

At one point my husband stopped and said, “we’re off the trail.”

I had no idea, I was just following him.

Isn’t this just like life as a Christian at times? We are moving along, thinking we’re doing ok, then suddenly we realize we’re heading down the wrong path.

God has proved all throughout the Bible that He will meet us where we are and turn us in the right direction.

Even in their complaining, God brought the people out of Egypt into the land He promised them.

And He’s here to do that for you and me today.

Look for God in the wilderness. When you can’t see what’s up ahead, turn to Him for guidance.

Ezekiel 34:25 - “I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of savage beasts so that they may live in the wilderness and sleep in the forests in safety.”
