The Gift of knowing God in the Wilderness
The problems in your life will not always lead you to destruction. Sometimes, it’s God’s way of introducing Himself to you. Maybe these past few months or years, you failed to discover His love. That’s why you need to go through situations that will remind you who He is in your life. You may not appreciate what He is doing right now, but the moment you see all the changes, you will realize that the wilderness season leads you to know Him more, and you grow close to His heart. It will all make sense one day. You may find it hard to comprehend His ways, but God will never do anything that will break you in the end. Everything that He is doing is for your own good. Take heart and just be patient. When you feel like you can’t take it anymore, just hold the hands of God and let Him take good care of you. There is a beautiful gift behind the most difficult season in your life. Soon, He will reveal those good things to you.
God is teaching you how to trust in Him. It may appear so messy, but He wants you to believe in His promises. This is the moment when you need to surrender your own understanding and allow Him to move. You need to activate your faith and believe with all your heart that God’s grace will sustain you until the end. Remember that in your weakness, He will be your strength. In times when you feel so down, He will lift you up. When you feel like there’s no hope, God will give you enough courage. He will perform miracles in your life. He will prove to you that He can do all things. This is the perfect moment for you to discover more of Him. He is building your faith and changing the way you see things. He is reminding you that you are nothing without Him. You need Him in your life. There are things that you can’t control, and this is the time when you need to put Him first and treat Him as your King.
Your life will never be the same after you overcome this difficult season. You will discover your strength, and you will realize who you truly are in God’s eyes. Because of the hardships you experienced, you became a better version of yourself. You learned how to manage certain things in your life, and your love for God grows stronger. You now learn to treat the situations in your life as His way of leading you close to His heart.
He gave you the chance to discover more of this life and more of His love. So do not lose hope. You may not know what lies ahead or when your wilderness season will end, but what’s important is that there is a better life waiting for you. After the storm will be seasons of harvest and joy. Keep walking because everything you are doing for Him is not in vain.
Your moments with God in the wilderness will give you life-changing lessons that will open your eyes to the things you used to ignore. They will help you see God’s blessings even more. So be patient when He takes you to places where you will find yourself so alone and weak because those seasons will help you discover so many things that will not only bless your life but also the people around you. Those crying moments you had will turn into a story that will set somebody free and will lead them back to His arms. Knowing Him is the most rewarding thing you can ever experience here on earth, and most of the time, it happens when you go through the wilderness.
