Initially, the path is filled with change, pain, and struggle. Don’t allow loss to distract you from your relationship with God. God will bring your life to order. God knows what He’s doing. He’s allowing this event to happen for a reason. Remain committed to The Lord during this difficult season. As time unfolds, the focus lessons on the loss. God is bringing something fresh, full of hope. Am I allowing The Lord to order my steps? God’s relentless love protects and directs you. The journey changed me on the inside. Do I have an unselfish concern for others? I will share the wonderful things God does. Being in the Wilderness can be overwhelming, as one grapples with dead ends, setbacks, detours and delays. God DOES have a plan of escape. Moses, Joshua, David, Job, Jesus and Paul were not exempt from experiencing a Desert time in their life – and they would call themselves blessed that they did! The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you—and more [besides] will be given to you who hear. (Mark 4:24b AMPC).
