I'll be speaking on Sunday about the 'Wilderness Wanderings' of the Children of Israel...
It's a daunting task, to try and concisely speak about something that took 40 years in only 40 minutes....one year a minute, talk about time flying by!
Obviously I won't be attacking it from that angle...It will be a matter of WHY were they there, WHAT was the purpose while there, HOW do we see God's abundance towards them in the midst of it, and WHEN were they going to be getting out of it?
If you know me or have heard me, I LOVE the historical aspects, but HATE the boring aspects of it if conveyed simply as a timeline...I want to know WHY it was important to jot down and How it can radically affect change in my life!
Anyway, the wilderness is a fascinating time of GOD challenging, deprograming, reprogramming, solidifying, correcting, teaching, proving, providing, protecting, leading, establishing and loving the Children of Israel...Ever think of it that way before? Until recently I saw it as a punishment that was horrible.... and yet, I now see it in an entirely different perspective!
I think everyone that becomes a Christian MUST go through the Wilderness Experience! You don't get to go from Egypt's Worldly Bondage and mindset right into the Promised Land of REST! There is a wilderness we all go through! Moses did, Elijah did, Jeremiah Did, John Did, Even JESUS did, so why would we think we wouldn't...I've got nothing on those guys!
Been through quite a bit over the years and I determine regardless to follow the Cloud of Fury and Glory, until He brings me to a New Place....
