Your Wilderness and God's Glory

Sunday, June 27, 2021

If you ask some believers, "How are you doing?" - they'll answer, "I'm going through a wilderness." But if you asked Moses, who actually was going through a wilderness, how he was doing, he wouldn't have answered, "I'm going through a wilderness." No, he would have told you that he was dwelling with the glory of God. This is because the wilderness wasn't a bad thing, but a sacred place, a place of God's dwelling glory. Thus, it was an awesome place. In the same way, your life is not about where you are, but Whom you're with. It's better to be in a wilderness with God than in the greatest paradise without Him. The wilderness was for the Hebrews' own good. So, there's no wilderness you'll ever go through that won't be for your own good. So, don't just go through your wilderness, but thrive and prosper in it. Stop focusing on your circumstances or on what you don't have and focus on Who goes with you. For if you look carefully in your wilderness, you'll find that the glory of God is there as well.
