As I've thought more about the wilderness a few more thoughts have entered my mind. Over the next few days I'm going to look at different examples from Scripture about the experiences God's people have had in the wilderness. At the moment here is the list I'm going to be working with, some may be added and some may be removed because they are similar.
The wilderness is a place to Rest.
The wilderness is a place to Regroup.
The wilderness is a place to Receive.
The wilderness is a place to Refocus.
The wilderness is a place to Revive.
The wilderness is a place to Reflect.
As I've shared the wilderness is a place of blessing. It's an opportunity to connect with God. But it is also a place where we will meet great Resistance. And that will be looked at as well.
The wilderness is a blessing, but at the same time it is a dangerous place, it begins with the word "wild" after all. While there we must stay alert because it is when we are about to have our most intimate moments the enemy strikes the hardest. But if we are on guard and connected to God, we will stand firm in the battle and emerge with a deeper intimacy with God than when we began to wander. So let's look at the "R"s of the wilderness, and come out looking more like Christ.
To God alone be the Glory!
Peace be with you
