Our Great Wilderness Adventure

 

For the LORD your God

has blessed you

in all the work of your hands.

He knows your going through

    this great wilderness.

These forty years

the LORD your God

    has been with you.

You have lacked nothing.

           Deuteronomy 2. 7

It's been such a hard path,

  but the LORD is with us.

God works His blessing

  even through 

the difficult and arduous

to strengthen us

         and use us,

  past, present, future tense.

God's blessing is not limited

to what we see as success,

  but what is faithfully done.

God knows our great

    and many wildernesses,

because He is

guiding us through and

leaving a witness in our wake.

O LORD,

Sometimes we can see

      Your goodness,

sometimes not yet,

but it underlies everything.

Speak through 

  the hard things in our lives

for Your glory

and to bring us

  and others closer to You.

Your wilderness

     is full of wonders,

     just now blossoming.

We need You.

Be glorified in this place

  in all we do today.
