Trials & Triumph in the Wilderness

Have you been in the wilderness?
Where God teaches, He tests our faith 
He exposes our deceitful, dirty, darkened hearts
The doubt, discontent, self centeredness, the jealousy, the pride, the hatred

In the wilderness  
God reveals that He is the true, living, and only God
The God who gives water, the God who feeds the hungry
The God who clothes the naked
The God who fights the battle of the weak

In the wilderness,
God displays his divine Love
His faithfulness, His lovingkindness, His compassion,
In the wilderness we witness that God is mighty and gracious
A God who is slow to anger, abounding in truth
Forgives iniquity, transgressions and sin

Will you take matters in our own hands?
Storing food and material things for ourselves as if God will not provide
Will you continue to walk in disbelief?
Will you strive any longer without seeking His face?
Do you pray or Do you sleep on the things that you should go before the Lord?
Why do you continue to blind yourself ?
Not knowing where your deceitful heart is leading you

In the wilderness God does not leave the guilty unpunished
There is great judgment
Upon those who desired to live their own way
He has given us His word  
Therefore we must abide in it
If we are God’s people
He has a greater place, a greater promise,
A greater destiny that no other man has to offer
and
How long will it take?

Until we believe and totally depend upon Him
In whatever place or state
God is in control--
His glory is reserved for those who are willing
To suffer the trials for His goodness
And
Endure temptations that bring us to His holiness

Are you ready to live in the Wilderness?
