"Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands…” - DEUTERONOMY 8:2"
-
He leads us into the desert to humble us; to bring us to a place where the Lord is all we have. Because that’s when we learn that the Lord is all we need. “In the desert, there’s no such thing as independence - only dependence.” When you come to your Lord in total desperation, running on empty, you open yourself up to an experience of God’s power and God’s grace you can’t get any other way.
And just in case you’re not sure you can make it through this desert, listen to what your Heavenly Father will do for you there: Deuteronomy 1:31 says, “In the desert…you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way.” And like any tired little child, you’ll go much farther with your Father carrying you than you could ever go on your own. The desert may not be pleasant. It may stress you, it may strip you, but there’s treasure you’ll only find there. Because you’ll find the treasure that is discovered only when God is all you’ve got.
