In my message today out of no where the concept of going through a desert came out of my mouth. The concept was that many times life feels like we are going through a desert--you know where life seems dry and lonely. It is in that moment that you have two options...1 go back to where you started 2. keep pushing through the hard times and reach the destination that God has for you.
I am discovering that the desert can be a place to hear God's voice. Also, it's a place to ask yourself if you really believe the promises that God tells us in His word. My encouragement to you and me is to keep putting one foot in front of the other and don't give up. The reward that is waiting will be worth it!
