Jestin Xavier: Journey in the Desert
There are many deserts in our lives and many places of captivity. They sap our strength.
There are many signs that God performs in his love for us. They bring us hope.
There are many protected journeys on which God shepherds us. We travel safely thorough enemy nations.
God says: I bring you out of the desert because I love you dearly. I perform great signs and wonders for you because I cherish you deeply. I make a way for you through dangerous places because I want to accompany you. I protect you in each day’s journey because I want to abide with you. I myself have brought you out of arid places to a fertile place where you will flourish. I have great plans in mind for you. I want to free you from that binds you and keeps you from celebrating your freedom in joy with me.
When we feel trapped in our lives, we must ask God for freedom.
When we face insurmountable obstacles in our daily journey, we must ask God to make a way for us.
When we fear for our safety and fret over the enemies who will take us captive, we must ask God for protection.
