Never Just A Wilderness

 

The LORD spoke to Moses

in the wilderness of Sinai....

            Numbers 1.1

What in the world

           am I doing here

in this unfamiliar, unknown 

and uncomfortable place?

God speaks to us too

in the most unexpected places

     and unlikely situations,

even in those barren

  wildernesses of our lives.

Why here?  

Why in this forsaken place?

Perhaps because 

we could not -- or would not--

   listen or respond to Him

   any other way.

God does not just say

         Look to Me,

but Look Me in the eye.

Sometimes it takes a wilderness

  where we have no one but Him

         for us to listen.

"But there's nothing here, O God!"

            I am.

It's never just a wilderness. 

O LORD,

Thank You for leading us

   even into the desert

   or the deserted places

that we may listen to You.

Thank You for speaking to us

       right there,

revealing not just Your majesty

     and wonders in this place,

        but revealing Yourself.

Help us to be still

     and know that You are God.
