The uncertainties of the wilderness create a need for God and a dependence upon God. God carried them into the wilderness so that they could be apart from the influences of Egypt. We have said enough about wilderness questions. What can we know for sure about the purpose of the wilderness in the lives of God’s people? Did you get to that place by God’s guidance, or did you get there by misreading of God’s guidance? You might find yourself questioning God’s wisdom-or maybe even your own. If you are at a wilderness place in your life, you may find it to be more puzzle than purpose. The wilderness is a puzzle from our perspective, but from God’s perspective, it is His perfect plan for our lives. It can be a place of problems, and at the same time, a place of purpose. Has God’s will for you included a period of time in the wilderness? Time in the wilderness means facing wilderness struggles, and wilderness hardships, and wilderness questions. The center of His will for them would eventually be Canaan, but for a time, the center of God’s will was a great and terrible wilderness. What does that mean? What would it look like? Would it be a time of happiness and fulfillment? Is there ever a time that the center of God’s will might be a place of discouragement and difficulty? What about the children of Israel? God called Moses to bring them out of Egypt and into the center of His will. I want you to think for a moment about being in the center of God’s will.
