Finding God in the Wilderness

Desperation, hopelessness, and defeat. That's what you feel when you are aimlessly wandering through a time of uncertainty. It's so easy to talk about your big faith, but a little harder when you actually have to use it. If you have been a Christian for more than five minutes, you know that life is not an easy ride, even for a believer. Unfortunately, God never promises a life with no struggles. But, there are countless verses and stories all throughout the Bible that can guide and encourage us as we walk through the various seasons of our life. Finding God in the Wilderness will take you on a journey from the wilderness to the promised land, in hopes of learning from the mistakes of the Israelites. When you find yourself in a wilderness season, it's extremely easy to do just what the Israelites did; grumble, complain, and want to run back to the familiar comfort of the chains you left. Despite your uncertainty and fears, the discomfort of the unknown maybe exactly where God wants you to be. We must learn how to trust God in the wilderness.
