The Bible Was Begun In A Desert

Sunday, November 14, 2021

You're going through a wilderness. Maybe you've just gone through a wilderness, or you're about to go through a wilderness, but whatever the case, you probably don't like the wilderness, those hard times in the Lord. If you go into any synagogue in the world, you'll find something called the Ark, the holiest place. Inside the Ark is the Torah, the most holy scroll which contains the Five Books of Moses. This most sacred scroll, the Torah, was written completely in the wilderness: Genesis and the creation of the world, Exodus and the Passover, the Ten Commandments, the Law, the Ark of the Covenant, and the Holy of Holies. The wilderness is sacred, a special place and time where you get the chance of drawing especially near to God. It is in the wilderness that He gives you the Tent of Meeting, and reveals His presence in the deepest ways. So do not despise your wilderness, but bless it. For God Himself will dwell among you in the most special of ways and make your wilderness the most holy. rn
