The Silence In The Wilderness

We all know what the wilderness is like. Dry, dry, dry.
No sustaining water, no life giving food. Nothing.
The wilderness is a place of nothingness.

As Christians we all enter that wilderness at one time in our walk
with God. Some embrace it, usally the more mature Christian. While
others fear it, but now it is coming. Some loose their faith in the wilderness,
while others gain more faith.

I have personally entered and exited that wilderness. Sometimes
victoriously and sometimes in totally defeat.

But I know there is a holy reason why we go through that wilderness
it is so that God can mold us, change us, restore us, and bring us
closer into his fellowship. And the wilderness is not to be feared but embraced.
And when we go through it, even though it is extremely hard, we chose what we
want out of it.

Personally, speaking of someone who is entering into a wilderness spell
I look forward to it. All the temptations, all the feelings of lonelyness,
because I know that I will grow in my faith. I will grow closer to God,
and He will embrace me on the other side.

So, if you are entering, or are already in a wilderness time, look unto your Lord and Savior.
He is your life giving water, and your sustaining food. He is your everything
and remember when you think He has left, just now that He is carring you
through.

My life has been one adventure after another.
Some I really love and will remember always.
While others are.. not so pleasant.

But I know that my loving God forgives, and
covers those areas. And he is completeing the
good things in me. He is my entire life, at this
time. And it feels good to be surrounding by Him
24/7.

God is taking me down the road of restoration,
renewal, and He rejoices in every little step of
obedience I take. Which makes me feel like dancing,
and shouting to my Lord. That it is so good, good when
bad things happen. And good when good things happen.

Because of His promise I stand still, " He will never leave
me nor forsake me." No matter what anyone thinks, there is
absolutely no fighting the truth. I chose to walk in obedience, in truth, in
love and in forgiveness.

These things make me so excited by blood bubbles in joy.

Come lay down your burdens, come to the cross of salvation.
Get ride of religious laws and ideas and become the faith filled person
God desires you to be.
