"You shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not." Deuteronomy 8:2
Almost 43 years I have walked, observed, searched, struggled, stumbled, discovered, created, wasted, wandered, wondered, worked, and worshipped, in the desert.
No amount of pain or success has caused my heart to lose faith in the living God. He has had me all along. Without Him I would be an anchor without a chain. As many miles that He has carried me, just as many I tried to carry myself. When I tried, I failed. My own strength only brought me weakness. But He had me, on His chain, secured tightly to His ship, which is His faithfulness.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will Never leave you, nor forsake you." -Deuteronomy 31:6
I will go forth, because the Lord called me to Trust in Him, and when I did, in all my ways, I found His faithfulness is everlasting.
Up from the valley of dry bones to a life where He leads me.
In Jesus name.
