Today's Gospel Truth ~ " For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in
all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great
wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast
lacked nothing." Deuteronomy
2:7
The term 'wilderness
experience' has many different meanings, it can mean wandering, hardship,
turmoil, affliction, rebellion, or
divorce, just to name a few. For some
reason it seems like everybody experience such an season at one time in life or
the other. While it may not seem so
especially in the lives of some around you who always have everything going for
them, at one point or the other these same individuals will face the death of a
love one of whom they may have a very difficult time letting go. Unfortunately there are some who face a
"wilderness experience" one after the other in their family, in their
bodies, on their jobs, and even in the church.
The "wilderness experiences" of life seem to have been
designed to not only keep us away from God
but they sure afflict our lives in many ways leaving it's stains and
imprints behind. The only objective view
of having a "wilderness experience" is that when God is in it you
will experience deliverance out of it.
As the children of
Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years they walked in endless
circles it seem like, but what they didn't realize was that God was there with
them. As they were having this
experience God provided for them even through the rebellion each step of the
way. They needed direction - God
provided, they needed food - God gave them manna, they needed water - God
provided water from a rock in the desert of Zin, God also caused their clothing and shoes to
remain in tact for that entire period of time.
Just as God kept his covenant he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob he
is just as faithful to keep his covenant with you. Our scripture text tells us that God, your
God has blessed you in everything, and as you have travelled or are now
travelling through your wilderness he is walking with you in every step and he
has guarding you therefore, you lack
nothing.
When God is with you,
the Answer is with you. Even in times
when it may feel like you have been in your wilderness too long God is there
with direction, strength, encouragement to keep on going, grace, peace, and deliverance. As God has provided for the Israelites before
they arrived in the wilderness, he has done the same for you to give you all
you will need to cross over into your promise land. Claim that which you Desire in God, Declare
that your Victory is Manifesting Now, and Receive your Promise. **AMEN**
"For
this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate My power in you, and that My
name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth." Romans 9:17
