This weeks cartoon shouldn't need to much explaining - most of
us try our best to avoid a spiritual wilderness but if we spent
our time only enjoying mountain top experiences we would never
grow into the people the Lord wants us to become or learn things
the Lord wants to know.
The Wilderness has the capacity to reveal what is truly in our
hearts so we may learn what the Bible says "Consider
it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish it's work so that you may be mature
and complete, not lacking anything" James 1:2-4
Wilderness experiences are not pleasant but if we learn to embrace
them joyfully according to Gods will, it can be the means of
great blessing and encouragement to many.
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later
on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace
for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11
Whatever the wilderness experience we may go through, may we
learn to embrace them joyfully, becoming more Christlike - fully
submitted to doing Gods will.
