In our barren place, where we feel lost, unable to be productive, in a pit of bleakness, as darkness encloses upon us, leaving us to feel impoverished, deprived of strength as we try to make sense of our lives, our mess, our situations. Temptation on every side, uninvited circumstances we face,we can take comfort in knowing Jesus understands our plight, as we mustard the energy to cry out to Him, as we grapple through our dark hour, He can and does empathize, imparting His victory to us, as we are allowed to share in His triumph, all the while He renews us for another day on the journey we’ve been given in this life.
Mark 1:12 And immediately the Spirit cast Him out into the wilderness, 13 And He was in the wilderness forty days…
The wilderness is a barren place that is inhospitable, a place where people do not want to dwell, it is a lonely place, a place of battle, a place where the devil would break us but God would cultivate our faith. In our faith we birth hope, with our hope optimism, from our optimism light, from our light joy. From joy, our wonder for life is fed, no matter the storm that rages around us.
Feed your spirit, Feed your faith, Feed your mind on good things, things hoped for, things that can’t be seen but anticipated.
Good Evening Ladies…
