The Israelites were amazed to find that their way to the promised land was through the desert.
Indeed, we attribute to the desert a value of experience, of crossing, of ordeal. And in reality, the only way to reach the destination that God has planned for us is through the desert.
If then we find ourselves in the desert, it is not because God wants to punish us. It is quite simply because He wants to transform us in order to make us enter into His promises or into a new life He has destined for us.
This transformation consists in killing certain things so that others can be born and bear fruit in us, in making us swallow our pride so that we can clothe ourselves in humility, in ridding ourselves of our self-sufficiency in order to lead us to total dependence on God.
« He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known… »(Deuteronomy 8:3)
Although the situation in the desert is difficult, God maintains our life until safe port.
« Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years(in the wilderness). »(Deuteronomy 8:4)
Courage to all those who, like me, cross their desert!
By the grace of God, we will arrive safely.
PRAYER :
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to keep our courage as we walk through our desert.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
