I have led you
   forty years in the wilderness,
your clothes have not worn out
                          upon you,
and your sandals have not worn off
                           your feet
...that you may know
     that I am the LORD your God.

                          Deuteronomy 29. 5-6

(God is faithful
     even in what I see as wilderness,
His provision prevails,
His purposes fulfilled,
        that I may know Him more.
I may walk through some tough terrain,
but that time is never random.
God always redeems even the midst of it.)
