![]() #40 year walk in desert full#Best regards.“And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit for forty days in the wilderness, tempted by the devil. ![]() So I encourage all of us to go back and relearn and fall in love with the 10 Commandments because they are only well-meant guidelines for all mankind’s problems here on earth. The Bible and many books have been written about them and all the laws in different countries have been drawn from the 10 commandments. This guidance system lets us know where we are and where we are going anywhere on Earth! So why do human beings run around looking in all the wrong places for the answer to their problems? The 10 Commandments are really old, and as a child, I first learned about them in Sunday school. Now, God’s GPS (GGPS) is the 10 Commandments that were given to Moses during that wilderness experience by the Israelites. Thank you so very much for this blog and your ministry…Whatever is the problem, the answer is within the 10 Commandments – I believe that God Almighty gave them first to the Israelites to help them through their wilderness experience and for the rest of their lives on earth, like a global positioning system (GPS) in your car or cell phone. His thoughts are higher than ours! His thoughts and plans for us are good because He is a good Father. And as the author of this blog stated, God’s ways are the best way. And trust me when I say I did not want to got to the desert or the long way, but in hindsight I couldn’t think of a better way. Now my career is taking on new heights that I can barely contain. I had to go to the desert to get delivered and blessed. A possible demonic possession of an elderly friend /self-proclaimed godmother who meant me harm had been in my life over 45 years was the enemy in my camp! Refusing my help, I had to walk away and distance myself which while painful was probably one of the best decisions I made as walking away God opened doors that I had not anticipate. To unknowingly meet the enemy head on in my own camp. Through the pandemic, God has taken me the long way of revelation for His glory to show me things and bring out hidden talents. Thank you for your very astute observation of how on occasion God takes His chosen ones on a journey through the desert/ wilderness that may not make sense. We don’t know the potholes or wrecks that are on the road we are navigating.īut we think we should be in control. We don’t wait for God’s explanation - if He explains - why it is taking so long. Part of the problem is we want everything now. We think we know better than God about how things should go. We just want things to stay the same because they are familiar. Maybe, too, we are kicking and screaming because God is leading us out of our comfort zone. It doesn’t look enticing enough – exciting enough – for us to want to go there. ![]() ![]() Or we may see that we’re heading through the desert, not the well-populated way. Or we doubt that God is in control of whatever is happening to us. Or we don’t want to give up that wonderful, comforting sin. Or we just don’t have the strength to withstand temptation. We’ve changed our minds about serving God. ![]() I’m afraid for most of us, though, we do more jaunts in the wilderness than straight lines. ![]()
