Deuteronomy 2:7“For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.”
The above scripture is referring to the children of Israel when they were taken out of the land of Egypt into the wilderness so they could walk through it and posses the land of freedom and abundance. The Bible records these people walking in the wilderness for forty years. God didn’t want his children in the wilderness for forty years but rather only a matter of days.
The reason why they kept prolonging their time there is because of their attitudes toward the situation. They let disbelief in God come in with the questioning of His existence and motives; they let complaining and murmuring towards God come in; even though all of their needs were met on a daily basis.
Lets take a look at our own lives, are you in a place in your life where it feels desolate and dry, do you consider yourself to be in a wilderness experience; if so, how are you dealing with it; are you complaining and feeling sorry for yourself every chance you get or are you blaming other individuals for your experience?
Whatever the case may be, don’t let a negative attitude prolong the experience. In able for God to move us into the next level we have to be grateful for the current level. The current level you’re on may not be a desirable one but there is something to be gained from it, called maturity. Don’t start to waver in faith because you think God has left you, just as the above scripture states, they lacked nothing the entire time they were in the most desolate place. No matter what level you are on God will always provide for His children.
