Sing Your Own Desert Song!
When you’re in the desert, the important thing to remember is, “Don’t Give Up.” Yes, the dry ground is hard and the sun above is hot. Yes, all you see is barren wasteland before you and desolate wilderness behind you. However, because God led you here you are not lost and He has a plan.
There was a day when the children of Israel were only a week away from the river Jordan. There was a day when tomorrow they would find a river flowing with fresh water. While we do not always know when we will find rest, we know, because we follow our Father, we will.
Take another step in God
The only way to truly fail in God is to refuse to take another step. The only way to never make it out of the wilderness is to not try. Most of us are much closer to our wilderness exit than we realize. Take another step, believing that God has already made a way.
When things are tough that is the best possible time to praise God. Lift you hands up in the midst of your desert and proclaim how wonderful He is Sing songs the wilderness of how He will deliver you. Express thankfulness that you are covered by His grace and mercy. It is at these difficult times, when we are at our extremities, that God is truly near.
Believe what God says to you personally
From the time of the Garden, God has had a sore spot with mankind because they chose not to believe Him. Having given Adam and Eve everything they still chose to disobey. Therefore, God loves it when His children, the descendants of those cast out of Eden, turn and trust Him in the face of impossible odds. It touches God’s heart when we say “we believe” even if we don’t understand.
Through faith, bring healing to God’s heart
God wants you to believe and when you do, it heals some part of Him. Furthermore, belief moves YHWH’s hand to deliver you. Rather than being a hardship the desert, for those who believe, it is an opportunity. It is a time to touch God’s heart and mind in ways that are not possible when we are at ease. Don’t give up, but lift your hands and heart and praise your Father with everything that is left inside of you. Do this and you will see true salvation.
